Hi Tilman,

Perhaps you could send me your entire .config as well as the entire 
output of the dmesg after your boot, or the entire boot log?

One of the kgdb patches does slightly modify the rs232 registration.  If 
your system did not have a second serial port, or if the virtual second 
line is some kind of other device that "simple configuration" detect 
needs further modification.  Hopefully the full output of the boot will 
shed some light as to what is going on.

Thanks,
Jason.
