: Greetings all,

: The system boots fine with the new kernel, but upon boot I get the message:

: Cyclom driver $Revision: 1.36.3.7 $$Date: 1996/04/19 21:06:18 $

From linux/Documentation/Changes:
Cyclades Serial Driver
======================

   The Cyclades driver has been changed so that the minor numbers start
at 0 instead of 32 (ie: ttyC0 should be major 19, minor 0 in the 2.0.x
kernels while it used to be major 19, minor 32 in the older kernels).
You can use mknod to manually fix this or use a newer version of MAKEDEV.

does that constitute help/advice?
