Could you just do:

struct tty_struct *tty = driver->ttys[last_hvc];

as well? So how come the '0' one did not work? Is that b/c
of console=tty becoming '0' instead of hvc0? Is there a crash
involved with this? Or is that it just is listening on the
wrong console (and which one is that?)

Hm, if that is the problem then this should also be a problem on
IBM Power boxes I would think?
