Hi,
devfs was removed in 2.6.13. Any other ideas? I am using the
amba-pl010.c serial driver.
I notice in 8250.c:2264

static int __init serial8250_console_init(void)
{
        serial8250_isa_init_ports();
        register_console(&serial8250_console);
        return 0;
}
console_initcall(serial8250_console_init);

and similar in the cirrus serial/ep93xx.c driver, but nothing like it
in the amba driver. Is this important?
Thanks
-Jesse
