Ditto, ditto, ditto, I am a clutz. After about a thousand attempts to squeeze 
an answer out of google, irc and various lugs, I decided to give the WAG 
technique a shot. I'm running a custom kernel so I had a poke around to see 
if there was anything obviously missing like,

CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE

Who would have thought? Certainly not me - I'm a clutz. With that little baby 
in there it works just like, no, better than doze. Thanks to all who tried to 
shield me from my own stupidity by suggesting faults that might not have been 
my own dumb fault. Newbie I am once again. Thanks everyone.

BTW I'm using the nforce drivers from nVidia. Since my last recompile I've 
moved to gcc-3.3. There were no issues with the kernel compiling but the 
nforce top level makefile doesn't have a 'clean' target. Therefore, the 
nforce modules were not recompiled and the old gcc2 versions were installed 
along with the new kernel. Of course the kernel spat the dummy. An easy fix 
in the end due to the very good error message from modprobe. One to watch out 
for if you migrate from Debian stable to testing with an nforce mobo.

Cheers all,
Rob
