I saw something similar (symptom-wise) with a serial console server
and it wound up that I had to turn off hardware flow control in
agetty. I suspect it's a bad cable as five other machines work fine,
but it's hundreds of miles away, and works with hardware flow control
turned off, so there it is.
In agetty, I removed:
-h Enable hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control. It is left up
to the application to disable software (XON/XOFF) flow protocol where
appropriate.
so, maybe something like:
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 -crtscts
would help? Somebody who has actually tried this before might help
on syntax.
