I didn't know there was a "default" baud rate for Linux. I think the lowest I have ever seen is 9600, but I certainly wouldn't call it a default. It seems every one of the boards I have uses something different, The debug console serial port rates are either provided by passing some bootloader information to the kernel or by a kernel command line option. Either one is locally configurable. > .... Who is the maintainer with authority over this? Would s/he accept a > patch to axe that 115200 line out? It shouldn't be a hard-coded value. It should at least be the standard Linux command line option. Bootloaders should simply use the port as it was configured by the boot rom. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
