Package: linux-image-2.6.18-2-xen-amd64 Version: 2.6.18-4 Severity: important
The xen kernel package doesn't have serial console support, while the non-xen version does. This is because in the xen version the 8250 serial driver is built as a module ... Xen will probably be used in datacenters a lot, where serial console support is usually very important, so please fix this, thanks :) # grep 8250 /boot/config-2.6.18-2-xen-amd64 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=m CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP=m CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CS=m CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=16 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DETECT_IRQ is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=y # grep 8250 /boot/config-2.6.18-2-amd64 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PCI=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CS=m CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=16 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS=4 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DETECT_IRQ is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=y Mike. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
