Hello All:
I have a PPro 200 system which I dual boot between Windows95 and
Debian Linux (most of the time!). I also have an internal modem installed
on COM2 so I have used the BIOS to set the on-board serial port to COM4
with IRQ 11 (this is an option for my motherboard which I have not seen in
others). Under Windows95, the COM4 is properly detected with the correct
IRQ, in Linux, however, both COM2 and COM4 are autoprobed as IRQ 3.
I have noticed an analogous situation when I disabled the second COM port
in the BIOS but Linux finds it anyway. It seems that Linux does not pay
attention to these BIOS settings. Is there any way for me to force it to
pay attention?
Thanks,
Carlo
