serial module in 2.3.x?

Hi,
has anybody seen the same? I'd like to include the serial.o module into
recent kernels (2.3.x). No luck, I always get a machine check. I'm not
sure where it is.
This happens up to 2.3.50-pre2. I suppose it has to do with the
SHARE_IRQ etc.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Andreas

I hang in the procedure autoconfig from serial.c, I get out the msg.
'Testing ttysx'.
this happens on a wallstreet & on a pm7200.
It takes a lot of time to find out where, since each freeze needs about
10' to reboot (fsck)

Thanks for any hint!!

Isn't serial.c for the Intel-compatible serial ports (like the 16550's
on most PC's)?  I think you might want macserial.c.  Back in my early
Linux days, I used to try to include "dumb" serial ports, but it always
crashed because I should have done "Powermac serial ports".  Did they
try to merge sources?

Additional follow up,
I enabled the xmon without video driver enabled:

It works but, I can't see the output, only the line breaks. Means, if I
type 't' for bt I get some line breaks but no screen output.
This is done under 2.3.50-pre2, which is the same, more or less as
2.3.49 from bk.
The behaviour of not showing me the xmon output I saw under 2.3.48 lc,
bk and stock.
