2.5.74 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE gone?

2.5.74 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE gone?

[Michael Frank]

Tried to config usb serial console on 2.5.74 but it's no more configurable.

Searched the tree and these are the only references

./BitKeeper/deleted/.del-Config.help~23cda2581f02cfcb
./BitKeeper/deleted/.del-Config.in~92fe774f90db89d
./drivers/usb/serial/Makefile
./drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.h

Has this been deleted?

Regards
Michael

No, but there is a typo in the Kconfig file for it.
Patch for it is below.  (It is from the -kj patchset. :)
Patch by Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com>.

CONFIG_USB has to be set to Y and CONFIG_USB_SERIAL has to be set to Y
to be able to select this config option.

Do you have those options selected?

And do you _really_ want to use CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE?  It's pretty
useless for the most part :)

thanks,

Nope.  See Greg's reply.  It's correct.

Nice to see that my emails aren't marked as spam :)

So you don't actually have a usb to serial converter?

Heh, patches are always welcome :)

But if you start to use it you will see why it's not really useful.
This is primarily due to the USB core starting up _very_ late in the
boot process, the small size of the buffers of most usb to serial
devices, and the requirement that interrupts be running to send USB
data.  Those three things combined do not make for a good system to try
to capture oops messages.

Good luck,

Yes, I did too.
But with plain vanilla 2.5.74, without the patch that I posted.
You shouldn't need that patch, but like Greg said,
USB_SERIAL=y is required for USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE.
It can't be built as modules.

Let's get rid of those dragons.  If the problem persists, please
send me your .config file.
