Valentine's kernel can work with serial console so I can using it install
the system on 5k/240. Doubled characters appeared only sometimes. There
was a little problem with lower stability of kernel. New kernel build
from source I quite stable, but cannot work with serial port also.

BTW where are sources of **really** current kernel, gcc, as, ... ?
