Can it be that you face the same problem I was facing not so long
ago? After I applied the patch in the email I attach to this one
all my serial troubles on the au1100 disappeared.

At the moment I'm running kernel 2.6.16 and am using a serial
console and several other serial applications without any
problem.

So, please find attached two emails. One is the answer I received
on sort of like the same question like you pose right now and the
other is the improved patch by Jon that fixed the problem for me.

We had the same problem on Au1200, applying
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2006-03/msg00259.html
(or maybe a different version of this patch) fixed it.

I may be way off, but maybe it's just flow control that needs
to be turned off.

Alchemy SoC uart have got a non-standard divisor register that needs some
special handling.

This patch adds divisor read/write functions with test and special
handling for Alchemy internal uart.
