[parisc-linux] more serial console problems on D310

[djweis@sjdjweis.com]

I grabbed the 20010704 kernel source and net booted my d310 with it
combined with the ramdisk from the 0.9.2 install image. I start with the
serial console on the serial connector labeled "serial console". Output
only comes through there until the kernel starts, then I have to switch
over to the other serial port on the machine to see the rest of the boot
messages. They come quickly until the root filesystem is mounted. It looks
like I lose interrupts after that because everything is written in blocks
of 16 characters with long (15 second?) pauses in between blocks. After
getting this message:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
serial console detected.  Disabling virtual terminals.

the cursor just tabs along the screen by itself without printing
anything. 

Any ideas? Why is the first serial port not being detected/used?
