| 64 | |
| 65 | If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to |
| 66 | use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console, |
| 67 | say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART |
| 68 | device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise, |
| 69 | you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices, |
| 72 | so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending |
| 73 | on how the driver discovers devices. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.) |
