1) In 2.4.2 in order to compile with module support you also had to turn on
smp support. This has been fixed in the 2.4.3 release. This bloated the
kernel image to 600k+ which in an embedded world is not a good thing :-)
2) In 2.4.3 the console port using ttySX is broken. It dumps fine to the
terminal but when you get to a point of entering data (login, configuration
scripts, etc) the terminal does not accept any input.
So far I have been able to debug to the point where I see that the kernel is
receiving the characters from the serial.c driver. But it never echos them
or does anything else with them. I will continue to look into this at this
end.
I was also wondering if anyone else has seen this or if a patch is avail for
this bug??
