Alternatively, you can try setting tty_port in uart_install by: tty->port = &state->port. BTW do you see the warning from tty_init_dev: "driver does not set tty->port. This will crash the kernel later. Fix the driver!\n" ? Maybe not given console is registered already, but crashes. > thanks, -- js suse labs
