I hope this isn't the final solution, because in my view, it's not acceptable. I need to compile serial support as a module, not hard-coded in the kernel, or else IrDA won't work correctly. If I interpret the above correctly, it says that you either disable serial support, or hard-code serial into the kernel instead of loading it as a module. In that case, it will be impossible to use IrDA on a Red Hat system, and I don't think that's an acceptable permanent solution. --Greg
