The standard answer is Y. People who might say N - here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP - servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a - serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial - port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades and Stallion multi - serial port drivers do not need this driver built in for them to - work.) - - To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the - module will be called 8250. - [WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using - non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will - be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted - in the future.] - - BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by - the X window system, try running gpm first. - - BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem) - under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require - proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows. - - Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice, - modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports. - -config SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE - bool "Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port" - depends on SERIAL_8250=y - select SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE - ---help--- - If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the - system console (the system console is the device which receives all - kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user - mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected - to that serial port. - - Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console - (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but - you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as - "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of - your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options - to the kernel at boot time.) - - If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the - kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as - system console. - - You can set that using a kernel command line option such as - "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8" - "console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8". - and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding - port is ready. - "earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8" - "earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8". - it will not only setup early console. - - If unsure, say N. - -config FIX_EARLYCON_MEM - bool - depends on X86 - default y - -config SERIAL_8250_GSC - tristate - depends on SERIAL_8250 && GSC - default SERIAL_8250 - -config SERIAL_8250_PCI - tristate "8250/16550 PCI device support" if EXPERT - depends on SERIAL_8250 && PCI - default SERIAL_8250 - help - This builds standard PCI serial support.
