I running Fedora Cores 2.6.15-1.1826 kernel. When I run dmesg I now see this: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing enabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:06: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A before 2.6.15 I saw Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled The serial driver now correctly reports that I have two serial ports instead of 32. So shouldn't the patch register the minimum of CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS and the number of serial ports detected by the serial driver?
