Absolutely: a raw 2.1.129 build with Ingo's current RAID as the only
extension locks up the moment Seyon tries to open /dev/ttyS2. In my
case I'm using a dumb multiport board which shares serial IRQ over 8
ports, so it's a slightly non-standard configuration. The modem and
mouse on /dev/ttyS0 and S1 work just fine, but obviously I'm not
normally using Seyon to talk to those.

Could anybody else seeing this serial/tty problem let me know what sort
of devices/applications are breaking? It would help me to test things
properly once we've found the problem.
