10.3.2 Changes with Kernel Modules
The following kernel modules are no longer available:
• km_fcdsl—AVM Fritz!Card DSL
• km_fritzcapi—AVM FRITZ! ISDN Adapters
The following kernel module package was changed internally:
• km_wlan—Various drivers for wireless LAN cards. The madwifi driver for
Atheros WLAN cards from km_wlan was removed.
For technical reasons, it was necessary to drop support for Ralink WLAN cards. The
following modules were not part of the distribution and will not be added in the future:
• ati-fglrx—ATI FireGL Graphics Cards
• nvidia-gfx—NVIDIA gfx driver
• km_smartlink-softmodem—Smart Link Soft Modem
10.3.3 Console Number Change and Serial
As of 2.6.10, serial devices on ia64 are named based on the order of ACPI and PCI
enumeration. The first device in the ACPI name space (if any) becomes /dev/ttyS0,
the second becomes /dev/ttyS1, etc., and PCI devices are named sequentially
starting after the ACPI devices.
On HP systems, you must reconfigure the EFI console then you can drop the console
parameter from the kernel boot command. As a work-around, you can try
console=ttyS1... as a boot parameter instead of console=ttyS0....
