[PATCH] Fix serial console detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In ip22-setup.c the checks for serial/graphics console logic does
not check if ARCS console=g but the machine is using serial console, as
it does if no keyboard is attached.

This patch adds a check if ConsoleOut is serial. There might also be support for other graphics than Newport soon...
