Pulled from Linus' "next" branch (HEAD =
2b03adc1911d1c84cb7fad8b424234f589547cb3)
and built & booted on ia64. I see a lot of random characters on the
serial console. Suspiciously starting right after reporting the serial
line has been found.
Here's what the output looks like when I "vi" the saved file:
io scheduler noop registered^M
io scheduler deadline registered^M
io scheduler cfq registered (default)^M
pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5^M
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled^M
00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 44, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A^M

Output continues with alternating blocks of legible text and garbage.
System eventually boots (with a legible "login:" prompt).

Looks like the baud rate changed...
