This is weird. I recently upgraded to potato. Some potato packages require kernel 2.2.x, so I downloaded the kernel-source package. I successfully compiled the kernel, and it boots fine (after fixing my embarassing mistake of forgetting to make modules_install).
But: trying any communications application gets the bizarre message that /dev/ttyS1 *does not exist*. The same xterm I started pppd or minicom from, can ls that very device, but no application can see it. What the? If this is more appropriate on, e.g., debian-devel, please tell me. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Dueling Modems Computer Forum <http://dm.net>
