I recompiled without the pnp serial support and I could finally see the messages. Any chance it will get fixed soon? I had a look to the archives and could only find only a couple of bug reports since a few years, so I guess that's not enough pressure for anyone to care :-( I'll file a bugzilla bug report if there is none and a debian bug too, that might help :-) For the short story about my not booting kernels: my issue is related to a lilo issue in presence of large initrd or kernels (ie I needed to have large-memory set in my lilo conf). Thanks, -- Brice Figureau
