Well, it would have helped if you had sent details such as those described in http://www.lemis.com/questions.html: 6. Specify as much information as possible. This is a difficult area, and we need to expand on what information you need to submit, but here's a start: With any problem which could be hardware related, tell us about your hardware. In case of doubt, assume it's possible that it's hardware. What kind of CPU are you using? How fast? What motherboard? How much memory? What peripherals? Still, there's a good chance that you have a new motherboard with a kind of UART which wasn't in circulation when 2.2.5 was released. 2.2.8 (coming Real Soon Now) has support for them, and so does -STABLE (which, however, isn't on a CD).
