boot which is probing serial ports and messing with the carrier wrongly
and in ways it didn't use to. That would fit the fact that something
similarly broken has apparently also appeared in the Fedora user space
bootup.
And we (suse) have a report for enterprise, that says ModemManager
causes a similar issue. Could you perhaps check whether you have that
thing installed?
thanks,
