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.
Any hints?
cheers,
