It is a 15" Powerbook G4. I think they call it a Titanium. The console is not on
a serial port. In fact, the reason that I did not think this patch was a problem
is because the serial port does not appear to be connected to an external port.
I was unaware that there was a serial port on the motherboard. There is a modem
jack, but no 9 or 25-pin connectors that would indicate a standard serial port.
There are two stack dumps with the same trace. I posted the first, but the
second is preceded by the lines
[<c02adca0] pmz_interrupt
Disabling IRQ #23
ttyPZ1: IrDA setup for 57600 bps, dongle version: 4
ttyPZ1: IrDA setup for 115200 bps, dongle version: 4
irq23: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option
As I am not sure how to put options in with yaboot, I have not tried that.
