I don't recall what the defaults are, maybe it would help if you changed the |
| 36 |
parameter for your kernel to console=ttyS1,115200n8r or whatever suits your |
| 37 |
config. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
As for the kernel, everything you need should be in |
| 40 |
Device Drivers -> Character devices -> Serial drivers |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
My config: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
<*> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support |
| 45 |
[*] Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port |
| 46 |
[ ] 8250/16550 device discovery via ACPI namespace |
| 47 |
(4) Maximum number of non-legacy 8250/16550 serial ports |
| 48 |
[*] Extended 8250/16550 serial driver options |
| 49 |
[*] Support more than 4 legacy serial ports |
| 50 |
[*] Support for sharing serial interrupts |
| 51 |
[ ] Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe) |
| 52 |
[*] Support special multiport boards |
| 53 |
[*] Support RSA serial ports |
| 54 |
