There is something very fishy. The only documentation you've given us so far is a screen shot which contained a message (BIOS data check successful) which doesn't occur in the kernel. The loader string doesn't look all that familiar either; it looks like an extremely old version

2005-03-08 Thread Joerg Pommnitz
Hello all, currently it seems that select keeps blocking when the USB device behind ttyUSBx gets unplugged. My understanding is, that select should return when the next call to one of the operations (read/write) will not block. This is certainly true for failing with ENODEV. So, is this an issue
