Kernel upgrade screws with serial port?
This is weird.
I recently upgraded to potato. Some potato packages require kernel
2.2.x, so I downloaded the kernel-source package. I successfully
compiled the kernel, and it boots fine (after fixing my embarassing
mistake of forgetting to make modules_install).
But: trying any communications application gets the bizarre message
that /dev/ttyS1 *does not exist*. The same xterm I started pppd or
minicom from, can ls that very device, but no application can see it.
What the?
If this is more appropriate on, e.g., debian-devel, please tell me.
