Hi,

I have been seeing this during shutdown ever since I started using 2.5. Figured
I really should report it... There are three serial ports. One for a serial console,
the second for a backUPS ups, the third for a (real) modem. Dist is debian sid.

Saving state of known serial devices... Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual addres
