parts of that patch I sent you, here is the fix.

This patch was merged into our kernel tree, thanks; I'm testing it now.

Since I have you 'on the line', would you know why serial output on sparc64 now:

1) clears the screen twice right after Remapping the kernel...
2) omits every other character when it does start printing messages? such as

Iv vrIv unln rvr

which means

IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver

Some stuff, though, appears intact:

Vno: PLEXTOR oe: CD-ROM PX-20TS e: 1.00

which really says

Vendor: PLEXTOR Model: CD-ROM PX-20TS Rev: 1.00

It looks to me that when formats are being expanded, there is no problem. Hope that helps.

Anyway.. yes, I've asked before, but at least a confident "I don't know" from the Man would be better than nothing :)
