 Hello!
 
 I have compiled a fresh kernel with serial console support and tried to
 connect my notebook with minicom to it. However I only managed to get it
 to work with a 4800 speed connection. A VT320 terminal works at 9600 and
 19200. Any hints how I can improve speed?

 I found my minicom connections very slow, although the default
serial port setting is supposed to be 38.4 kb.  I fixed it with the
following command at the shell prompt:
  setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_vhi 

 (The device name depends on where your modem is located).
/etc/init.d//setserial saves the serial port settings when you
shutdown, and restores them on bootup.

 Another place to check is minicom configuration.  In minicom,
CTRL A O, choose Serial port setup.

Hello!

I have compiled a fresh kernel with serial console support and tried to
connect my notebook with minicom to it. However I only managed to get it
to work with a 4800 speed connection. A VT320 terminal works at 9600 and
19200. Any hints how I can improve speed?

I'm using kernel 2.0.38 on my notebook. The bootup message about the
serial devices is:

Serial driver version 4.13p1 with no serial options enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16450

 Have you looked at minicom?
