I'm no expert, but i thought 'status' shows the LSR when an interrupt occurs, and LSR = 1 indicates 'data available', while LSR = 60 indicates transmitter status (40 = THR empty, 20 = THR + shift register empty)? so status = 1 indicates an interrupt occurs while transmitter is busy? I think this is related to tty flip buffer full (size = 512), and no low_latency setting (which, if set, hangs the 2.6 SMP kernel). but i'm not expert enough with serial to know a fix. thanks, tim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
