That means 8250_pnp is taking over and then trying to delete the console,
so its breakage in the serial layer glue. Perhaps Russell has some ideas
as its hard to tell what he intended to happen originally.
For what it's worth, I've been seeing this problem since about 2.6.23 on several different systems, and will be happy to test patches. The work-around of changing
the .config file will be fine in the meantime, it seems.

Thanks,
