Some checkin since 2.6.11 has caused the serial driver to drop characters. Console output is chopped and messages are garbled. Even the shell prompt gets truncated.
Searching lkml archive, I found: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111031501416334&w=2
I also found that reverting that patch made the problem go away for 2.6.11-bk1.
Yes, this patch is the problem. A fix showed up today. Current kernels work fine, thanks.
Could someone who has the patch broken out send it to -stable? Serial not working is a non-trivial issue given the number of people who use dialup either full time or as a fallback connection.
