What is that issue out of curriosity? I ask because... well I've had some rather incongruous experinences with serial on the BriQ compared to what Karsten at Total Impact was telling me I should be having. Basically, all the kernels they've shipped recently had code that did some funky stuff to the baud rate. On my briq that made the serial port spew total garbage during boot until init hits runlevel 2 and resets it (debian), then everything is OK again. After reverting their changes everything works again. So I'm afraid I've had to take their code with a grain of salt. ISTR they were multiplying something by 4 that I found was better left alone... but I'd have to go back and see if I could find my old source trees to be sure, last time I looked at this box was 2 years ago. > Enclosed is my latest version of that patch (may need some hand-applying > as it's a couple of monthes old).
