Yeah, sorry about that. I missed the FTDI chip. As Thomas says the XP GP
board I'm testing this on, has its four UARTs connected to a FTDI chip.

Changing the console port by setting "console=ttyS1,115200" gives this:

[..]
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled

So we get the "Couldn't set" message in all four ports.

Tim: Any ideas?
