Run down so far...
  1) I've got 2 machines that need serial consoles
  2) Serial comms works for a little while and then I get dropped into the
     debugger on both
  3) I don't have sc0 or vt0 in the kernel at the moment
  4) If I enter cont at the debugger prompt I get

    db> cont

    Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
    fault virtual address   = 0x4
    fault code              = supervisor read, page not present
    instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xf01c37ee
    stack pointer           = 0x10:0xefbfff80
    frame pointer           = 0x10:0xefbfff80
    code segment            = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b
                            = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
    processor eflags        = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
    current process         = 0 ()
    interrupt mask          =
    kernel: type 12 trap, code=0
    Stopped at      _cninit_finish+0x26:    movl    0x4(%edx),%eax
    db>

    5) The motherboard is a Iwill P55XUB which quite happily runs FreeBSD

My problem seems to occur when the kernel probes the serial port that is
being used by the console. As soon as the port is probed I end up in the
debugger.

Any help still appreciated.
Gavin
