It worked so far for 1 to 2 days. After that time I noticed that I was not able to su to root. The probem was that su makes an entry throug syslogd and that didn't react. And I was not able to get syslogd running without a reboot. It also could not use /dev/console. Now I'm running again without the serial console. I read some older messages in the archives about nearly the same problems. I think that needs to be corrected.
