Bug#296932: fai-kernels: serial console doesn't work with 2.6 kernel

[Thomas Lange]

Since the 2.6 kernel is growing large, I had to remove some unused
drivers, which are only rarely used. Otherwise this kernel will not
fit onto a floppy disk. Should we explain it in more detail in the
documentation? Do you like to write a patch for this?

Bug#296932: fai-kernels: serial console doesn't work with 2.6 kernel

[Charles Fry]

Package: fai-kernels
Version: 1.8.2
Severity: normal

When making no change to my fai installation other than the kernel being
used, the serial console is used correctly by the 2.4 kernel, but the
2.6 kernel fails to properly initialize/write to/use the serial console.
This makes it more difficult to track down installation problems.
