Re: How to hang 2.6.9 using serial port and FB console

[Karel Kulhavy]

I found out another bit of information:

When the kernel is hanged up and I remove the infra dongle (so that
nothing is sent towards the computer anymore for sure), the kernel stays
hanging.

This is therefore a final proof that it is not caused by sending breaks.
Dongle that is not present can't send breaks anymore ;-)
