[ipxe-devel] unable to type/enter text in console/login after commitdiff "2a696ab963fe71296d9495caed1b748f6f7d8971" when "using" comboot support in src/general.h)...

[Torgeir.Wulfsberg at kongsberg.com]

Hi!

Don't know if this is a bug, or something that is not supposed to work...
I also did find out that I actually don't need comboot support, but anyway, I'd guess it still should work?

Commitdiff, where "error" got introduced ([serial] Use new UART).
https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/2a696ab963fe71296d9495caed1b748f6f7d8971

Reproducable with this (after downloading/unpacking latest version of ipxe):
_________________________________________
# add support for "comboot" by removing comments //
vim config/general.h

make bin/ipxe.pxe

# move ipxe image file to tftpserver and boot
# hit ctrl+b

# cannot type in console
_________________________________________

If I download the "tar" from this commit, it is one commit before the one above ([gdb] Use new UART):
https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/5e622dc085d461d21e0db8f8d9773863ebc1468f

And redo the steps, I can type in the console again, with comboot support enabled...
