I recently installed Debian v1.3 on an old intel 386 test system. Everything in the installation went fine (but I did have to low-level format the hard drive to make the partitions properly). After the installation I rebooted the system like it asked me to. It seemed that everything was loading up OK until it trys to load the serial module after initializing the random number generator.
Here is what it says on the screen after the number generator is loaded : -------------------------------------------------------------------- Configuring serial ports..../dev/ttyS0: No such device failed... Trying to load the serial module manually... Serial Driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450 -------------------------------------------------------------------- After this is displayed the system hangs. I know that COM1 on this computer is IRQ 4 but the UART is only 8250.. but Linux seems to think its a 16450.. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
