Hi,

I'm currently working on 2.6.7 packages for Debian. Works fine, more or
less, but I'm having a weird problem with serial console. Seems to be
clobbering every second character in the output, for example:

eh:HPYMA PICerO 010ae tent 8:0:0:d:3:7

is

eth0: HAPPY MEAL (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100BaseT Ethernet 08:00:20:8d:23:77

when I look at it in dmesg.

All userspace output to the serial console appears correctly. Note, this
is not booting with 'console=3DttySx'; this is just using the built-in
keyboardless/monitorless behavior of SPARC machines.

Is there some obscure setting in the PROM that can be set to fix this?
I don't think I experience this in 2.4.26 (don't feel like booting it
right now but will do so on request.)

Thanks
