Comment 37 for bug 46685

Bad news on a Toshiba Satellite A45-S151: the configuration process hangs on both the 686 and the 386 kernels; ltserial and ltmodem modules are not loaded at all. The machine does not freeze; the process can be stopped with Ctrl-C. I tried running a trace, and after a while I got this loop:

select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 341000})
read(4, "\377", 1023) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 435000})
read(4, "\377", 1022) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 250000})
read(4, "\377", 1021) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 249000})
read(4, "\377", 1020) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 250000})
read(4, "\377", 1019) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 250000})
read(4, "\377", 1018) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 249000})
read(4, "\377", 1017) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 1 (in [4], left {0, 0})
read(4, "\377", 1016) = 1
select(5, [4], [], [], {0, 500000}) = 0 (Timeout)

It continued counting down all the way to 0, and then continued looping without counting down. Do you need any other info?
