Is there a head on this machine? Have you tried with a LOCKDEBUG kernel? Not
much use if there is only a serial port as console, though. The only major
change is that the driver now uses a mutex where before it used simple_lock
+ splzs. Can you double check that IPL_TTY is actually enough to block the
serial interrupt? If it's not, it will deadlock pretty quickly.

Thanks,
