| 9 | ---help--- | ||
| 10 | This selects whether you want to include the driver for the standard | ||
| 11 | serial ports. The standard answer is Y. People who might say N | ||
| 12 | here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP | ||
| 13 | servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a | ||
| 14 | serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial | ||
| 15 | port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades and Stallion multi | ||
| 16 | serial port drivers do not need this driver built in for them to | ||
| 17 | work.) | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the | ||
| 20 | module will be called 8250. | ||
| 21 | [WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using | ||
| 22 | non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will | ||
| 23 | be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted | ||
| 24 | in the future.] | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by | ||
| 27 | the X window system, try running gpm first. | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem) | ||
| 30 | under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require | ||
| 31 | proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows. | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice, | ||
| 34 | modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports. | ||

| 39 | select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE | ||
| 40 | ---help--- | ||
| 41 | If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the | ||
| 42 | system console (the system console is the device which receives all | ||
| 43 | kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user | ||
| 44 | mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected | ||
| 45 | to that serial port. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console | ||
| 48 | (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but | ||
| 49 | you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as | ||
| 50 | "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of | ||
| 51 | your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options | ||
| 52 | to the kernel at boot time.) | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the | ||
| 55 | kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as | ||
| 56 | system console. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | You can set that using a kernel command line option such as | ||
| 59 | "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8" | ||
| 60 | "console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8". | ||
| 61 | and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding | ||
| 62 | port is ready. | ||
| 63 | "earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8" | ||
| 64 | "earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8". | ||
| 65 | it will not only setup early console. | ||
