I think i've finally found the bugger that caused some people's keyboards and/or keyboard controllers to lock up during the boot block keyboard probing. Please, all you who've been experiencing those lockups, beat on it. I've also introduced an (initially commented out) Makefile override ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' to force the usage of a serial console even if a keyboard might be connected. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
