what about the i/o ports? there still could be an i/o port conflict on my box: /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4 /dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3 [...I have no com3...] /dev/ttyS3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 2 com3 and com4 are dangerous to work with ..an i/o conflict can just as easily(if not easier) to crash a machine then an irq conflict. i spent many hours hamemring away at hardcoding my devices to make sure they are all independent of each other. if possible set the mouse on com1 and modem hardcode to com2 (with default i/o addresses) and see if the problem persists..is there a reason why you are using com 3 and com4 ? i got a ups on com2 and modem on com4 ..nothing on com1 at the moment(mouse is ps/2) nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 6:17pm up 91 days, 5:52, 1 user, load average: 1.57, 1.59, 1.61
