Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 Version: 2.6.8-16 Severity: important
Classified 'important' as the 2.6 kernel package will not work with console=/dev/ttyS0,19200n8. Verified to be a kernel issue by using the 2.4.27-2 package with identical configuration. System runs on a PIIX4 chipset, with a serial console supported by the bios. Minicom was used to test the link, and does not work in 2.6, but does in 2.4. The login prompt and all data after entering the initrd is garbage. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii initrd-tools 0.1.81.1 tools to create initrd image for p ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
