Hi
prumpf has wrote code in the serial console to make that work
(I think that he had send the code to Tytso to be included in
the next release of the serial code). I have a _functional_
serial console with sysrq working now in the last 2.4.0
series.
To solve the problem 2, use the following patch, with it and
the dep_bool change, CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ + CONFIG_VT compiles
(althought it didn't work), but with this two changes, the
only other places that need changes are serial.c.
Later, Juan.
