I even read the docs ;) So they tell me to install a 2.2-kernel, preferrably one of the kernel-image-* packages. So I did. But everytime I boot the 2.2-kernel it just goes spewing zs_open ttyS0, tty overwrite. _very_ rapidly all over the console. Anything (other than break) sent to it over the console will OOPs the kernel. (Originally it was cua0, but I changed /dev/console to point to ttyS0 instead, because a lot of other processes were complaining) I did find some people asking because of this very problem when googling around, but noone seems to have an answer. It doesn't matter _that_ much, as I'm able to telnet to the box and do the rest of the upgrade, but it renders the console pretty much unusable.
