You are right, this error is output when the character flag TTY_OVERRUN is encountered by n_tty.c which should be set by the driver in response to a hardware FIFO overrun (not an ldisc buffer overrun). I can't see anyplace in serial_core.c or 8250.c that sets TTY_OVERRUN. -- Paul Fulghum Microgate Systems, Ltd - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
