Created attachment 479771 [details] Patch for Fedora 12 - older kernel-headers do not define PORT_OMAP This patch was tested on a Fedora 12 root filesystem with the packages available from: - http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=87050 - http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/devos/task_87049/ As older kernel-headers do not define PORT_OMAP, therefore this was added within an #ifndef. Added to git, and to the F-14 branch. It will make some future update. Note that this moved to systemd in F-15; you'll want to check the code there. Also note that the device rename in the OMAP tree to /dev/ttyO form only happened in more recent kernels, so a lot of people won't have noticed this yet. @Bill: systemd-18/src/target.c:target_add_getty_dependencies() seems to be checking systemd-18/src/util.c:tty_is_vc() which will return "true" for "tty[0-9]+". From my understanding, systemd works out of the box with any kind of serial-port. If it doesn't, I'll open a new bug. @Jon: Yes, this changed around 2.6.36-rc5. Unfortunately I got the advise to compile my own kernel for the ARM board I have, and run into this issue... I was unaware that systemd would be responsible for the serial-console on Fedora 15. Yes, indeed. I thought it was .37, but could have been .36 (depending on the tree you were/are using). My BeagleBoards are now able to run stock .38 RCs and they certainly see this change. So it's going to bite everyone soon. Created attachment 480581 [details]
Patch for kernel-headers < 2.6.37 - Fedora 14
Bill, looks like the patch that you included for the F-14 branch is not the correct one. Sorry, my mistake! it looks like I attached the same patch twice.
This patch is the correct one, it defines PORT_OMAP if the kernel-headers do not contain it. This is only needed for kernel-headers < 2.6.37. I guess that counts F-14 in. Can you please replace it?
Many thanks,
Niels

Created attachment 479770 [details] Recognize PORT_OMAP as ttyO* Description of problem: OMAP serial ports can not be used to login when passing "console=ttyO2,115200n8" as kernel parameter. /lib/udev/console_check does not recognize PORT_OMAP (96) as a serial port for a console. Since linux-2.6/include/linux/serial_core.h commit b612633b PORT_OMAP has been introduced. With this driver the serial ports are not available as ttyS* any longer, instead ttyO* should be used. How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect a serial console on a OMAP-board (i.e. a beagleboard) 2. boot the board with kernel parameter "console=ttyO2,115200n8" 3. after the initial kernel messages, nothing seems to happen Actual results: There is likely a login prompt on the S-Video and/or HDMI output. Unfortunately I only have access to the serial port so I can not check this. (No network, so there is no possibility to check for running getty processes either.) Expected results: When passing "console=ttyS2,115200n8" with older kernels there is a login prompt. This should be the case for newer kernel too. Additional info: The define for (struct serial_struct).type == PORT_OMAP was introduced during the 2.6.36 release cycle: $ cd linux-2.6/ $ git describe --contains b612633b v2.6.37-rc1~121^2~25^2^2~2 $ git describe --tags b612633b v2.6.36-rc5-105-gb612633 $ git shortlog -n1 b612633b Govindraj.R (1): serial: Add OMAP high-speed UART driver
