Hi Linux hackers, I am trying to bootup my Mikrotik RB532 board with the latest kernel, but my serial console is disabled after boot: .. Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled serial8250: ttyS0 at MMIO 0x0 (irq = 104, base_baud = 12499875) is a 16550A console [ttyS0] enabled console [ttyS0] disabled I used git bisect to find the problematic commit: commit 5f5c9ae56c38942623f69c3e6dc6ec78e4da2076 Author: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 28 14:21:32 2014 +0100 serial_core: Unregister console in uart_remove_one_port() If the serial port being removed is used as a console, it must also be unregistered from the console subsystem using unregister_console(). uart_ops.release_port() will release resources (e.g. iounmap() the serial port registers), causing a crash on subsequent kernel output if the console is still registered. Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> After reverting the change, everything is fine. I can provide a .config and dmesg if needed. Thanks in advance Waldemar
