+ ---help---
+ This selects whether you want to include the driver for the standard
+ serial ports. The standard answer is Y. People who might say N
+ here are those that are setting up dedicated Ethernet WWW/FTP
+ servers, or users that have one of the various bus mice instead of a
+ serial mouse and don't intend to use their machine's standard serial
+ port for anything. (Note that the Cyclades multi serial port driver
+ does not need this driver built in for it to work.)
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called 8250.
+ [WARNING: Do not compile this driver as a module if you are using
+ non-standard serial ports, since the configuration information will
+ be lost when the driver is unloaded. This limitation may be lifted
+ in the future.]
+
+ BTW1: If you have a mouseman serial mouse which is not recognized by
+ the X window system, try running gpm first.
+
+ BTW2: If you intend to use a software modem (also called Winmodem)
+ under Linux, forget it. These modems are crippled and require
+ proprietary drivers which are only available under Windows.
+
+ Most people will say Y or M here, so that they can use serial mice,
+ modems and similar devices connecting to the standard serial ports.

+ In 3.7 we renamed 8250 to 8250_core by mistake, so now we have to
+ accept kernel parameters in both forms like 8250_core.nr_uarts=4 and
+ 8250.nr_uarts=4. We now renamed the module back to 8250, but if
+ anybody noticed in 3.7 and changed their userspace we still have to
+ keep the 8250_core.* options around until they revert the changes
+ they already did.
+
+ If 8250 is built as a module, this adds 8250_core alias instead.

+ ---help---
+ If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
+ system console (the system console is the device which receives all
+ kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
+ mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
+ to that serial port.
+
+ Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
+ (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
+ you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
+ "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
+ your boot loader (grub or lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options
+ to the kernel at boot time.)
+
+ If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
+ kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
+ system console.
+
+ You can set that using a kernel command line option such as
+ "console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
+ "console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
+ and it will switch to normal serial console when the corresponding
+ port is ready.
+ "earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8"
+ "earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8".
