:Hi,
:
:With a kernel compiled from today's sources my serial console no more
:works. Everything is correct until the login: prompt but input from
:keyboard is blocked. Even when bootin in single user I am stuck at:
:Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:

Whoop, my fault. When I revamped the hardclock code I accidently
removed the code that activates tick-based software interrupts. So
the serial data was building up in the tty buffer but never waking up
readers.
I just committed a fix.
