Description

The 8250 module (a driver for serial ports) is never autoloaded. This breaks all braille displays connected to serial ports.

Fixed in trunk for systems that support PnP

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

Fix merged to the minimal branch. Closing.

Please reopen if your system has serial ports but does not autoload the 8250 module on the CD. If this happens, a workaround (as of r2080) is to add "load=8250" to the boot line.
