PPC livecd serial driver locking up

[William Harrington]

I have a Powerbook Titanium 1000. Another user, in the LFS-Support  
IRC channel known as Edno, has a friend with the same issue I have.   
The ppc livecd's kernel isn't getting past the serial driver. For me,  
I can usually get  the kernel to continue loading past the serial  
driver if I give the touchpad some activity. Edno's friend couldn't  
get it to get past the serial driver.  I don't know how many machines  
out there use 8250's but my powermac and powerbook don't use them.  
Any input on this? I think Edno's friend got passed this by building  
a livecd with a kernel not using the serial driver.

Sincerely,
William
