I recently upgraded a linux box to the kernel 2.4.4 (from 2.2.18). This box
has no display and use the serial console. Since the upgrade I can see the
boot output on the remote console but I can't use the keyboard. Each time I
press a key, an interrupt is seen by the no-display machine but no char
appears in the console.
Today I've upgraded an another box to 2.4.7 with a similar setup and I've
the same problem.

Is there something that I'm missing ? (something new with the kernel 2.4
that is required for a serial console that was not required with the 2.2 ?)

Is sombody else experienciong the same problem ?
