Hm, puc(4) says The current design of this driver keeps any com ports on these cards from easily being used as console. Of course, because boards with those are PCI boards, they also suffer from dynamic address assignment, which also means that they can't easily be used as console. What do people use as a serial port expansion then to connect to the ALIX serial console? Jan
