The simple description of my issue is this: I'm using the serial port for both a terminal and console. I run fdisk on a /dev/hda. Before this patch I would get the prompt for fdisk immediately. After this patch I have to hit return before the prompt is displayed. I know that's not a lot of info, but just let me know what else you need to help debug this. I'm guessing something about the UARTs on the PowerPC maybe bit a little non-standard. thanks - kumar
