I know this sounds wrong but > that's the way it is. It's that way because selecting any 8xx automatically configures a serial console. You can't get a serial console without selecting PC-Style uarts. You can't select PC-Style uarts on the 8xx because they assume they are the only serial ports on a system and that is where a console belongs. This prevents using the 8xx CPM serial ports. We should change this to allow both PC uarts and the CPM uarts to co-exist. The only board I know of that mixes these is the MBX, so it is low on my list of things to do. > PS.

I need to create a real configuration file that is kept with the kernel sources. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
