I've been getting lots of errors in all kernels since the
serial driver went modular.
I haven't seen any of these symptoms on my machine, and neither has any
of the other people whom I'm familiar with who have tried using the
modular serial driver.
Do any of these problems (cat /proc/ioports causing system crashes,
etc.) happen *before* the first time the serial driver is loaded?
If anyone else has seen similar problems, by all means, please let me
(and the kernel mailing list) know.
