Yes, I had the same issue. I reported it to the kernel mailing list about a year ago. The solution is to compile out the PnP serial console support: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/27/105 I think they removed the PnP serial console afterward (or it defaulted to N), since I don't get the issue anymore in newer debian kernel. -- Brice Figureau My Blog: http://www.masterzen.fr/ _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
