Hi list,

I found that kernel 2.4.21 has CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI, but 2.6 kernel and
later 2.4 kernel remove this kernel config option.
Has CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI become the default option and been built into kernel?

Thanks,
Forrest

The support has been merged into the PNP serial driver.

To get the functionality that CONFIG_SERIAL_ACPI used to provide, you
now need:

	CONFIG_ACPI
	CONFIG_PNP
	CONFIG_PNPACPI
	CONFIG_SERIAL_8250
	CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP

Most of those should be set by default, but sometimes people miss
CONFIG_PNPACPI.
