I found that I had to back out the changes to serial.c and serial.h in
the 2.4.3 kernel when using linuxbios on SMC FDC37N769 super-IO chips.
The output works fine and polled input under linuxbios may also work
fine (I don't recall) but linux would accept no input when I put a
getty on the serial port.
I'm assuming that the kernel changes are expecting more initialization
of the chip than they did before and that the new kernel code works
fine with a COTS bios.
Has anyone happened to fix this yet? Has anyone else used a serial
console under 2.4.3 and had either success or failure?
Thanks!
Ty
