The way I got around it was to comment out the "automatic" configuration stuff in /etc/rc.boot/0setserial and uncommented the appropriate "manual" configuration stuff. This took care of it for me.

(face red in shame) I've been playing around with this architecture independence stuff that I COMPLETELY forgot about it. But, since I'll be without a modem for a few days, I'll take the time to scan the kernel source for any additions/differences.

I thought I was using agetty, but I was using an older version of getty_ps (2.0.7g) and after replacing with agetty, "cat /dev/null | true" runs like a charm. Is getty_ps no longer debianized? I've noticed that there is a 2.0.7i available. Which is better anyway? (I suppose that's up to the user...) Anyway, THANKS a heap.

I figured that it was only my setup (I'm running Linux/68k), but other people have also said that there is problems with similar setups to yours. Unfortunately, I have gotten an answer as yet.
