  9. This selects whether you want to include the driver for the standard
  10. serial ports. The standard answer is Y. People who might say N
  11. here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP
  12. servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a
  13. serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial
  14. port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades multi serial port driver
  15. does not need this driver built in for it to work.)
  16. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
  17. module will be called 8250.
  18. [WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using
  19. non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will
  20. be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted
  21. in the future.]
  22. BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by
  23. the X window system, try running gpm first.
  24. BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem)
  25. under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require
  26. proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows.
  27. Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice,
  28. modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports.

  33. ---help---
  34. In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to
  35. accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and
  36. 8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if
  37. anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to
  38. keep the 8250_core.* options around until they revert the changes
  39. they already did.
  40. If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead.

  64. ---help---
  65. If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
  66. system console (the system console is the device which receives all
  67. kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
  68. mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
  69. to that serial port.
  70. Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
  71. (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
  72. you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
  73. "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
  74. your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options
  75. to the kernel at boot time.)
  76. If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
  77. kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
  78. system console.
  79. You can set that using a kernel command line option such as
  80. "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
  81. "console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
  82. and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding
  83. port is ready.
  84. "earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
  85. "earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
