Subject: serial: SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS must be <= SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2006 10:27:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43E72479.4020804@arcom.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 406 bytes --]
If SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS is > SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS then more serial
ports are registered than we've allocated memory for. Prevent this by
limiting SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS in the serial Kconfig.
