Serial support
Support knowledgebase (sf_seriell)
Applies to
Kernel: Version 2.2.5
Symptom:
After compiling a new kernel you can no longer acces your serial devices.
Reason:
Since the 2.2.5 kernel, serial support is automatically loaded as a module.
If you have chosen to compile this support into the kernel, the kernel will
still try to load this support as a module after the kernel is loaded.
Solution:
The file:
/lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/serial.o
must be deleted, so that the module can no longer be loaded.
In the file /etc/conf.modules
the line:
alias char-major-4 serial
should be changed to:
alias char-major-4 off
to prevent the kernel from trying to load the module (that was just deleted).
