Ok, Checking through the kernel sources, the EINVAL will be returned from the ioctl(), making kbd-chooser (using the same logic as woody, BTW) decide that there is no serial console present. Is a serial console, etc mentioned on the kernel commandline (/proc/cmdline)? Can we improve the autodetection code that way? > -- > Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SlÃn agus Beannacht, Alastair Alastair McKinstry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Key fingerprint (New) = CD45 260A 4546 C3C0 F595 F0F6 4132 BF90 2A38 5C57 He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - --Thomas Paine
