But I'm afraid having the driver as a module would harm debugging boot issues using serial console so it will be probably safer to keep "Y" here.
Exactly. At least on SLES :-)
Oh, I was talking about openSUSE, I wouldn't dare to even think about it for SLE. :-)
Oh, and for debugging VMs and stuff in QEMU / KVM, the always built in serial console support is also nice.
Good point. I forgot VMs still have serial ports usable without buying extra hardware. (Even if I'm using the feature myself quite often.)
Actually the best thing would probably be to enhance that driver to only create devices for ports, that are actually available. But then I think only very brave (and bored) people would really dare to touch this code ;-)
That's what some people suggested in those earlier discussions. But nobody took the challenge. Can't say I'm surprised, though... :-) Michal Kubecek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
