be sure you have serial support compiled into your kernel or at least as modules assuming your using a packaged kernel do: cd /boot grep -i serial config-`uname -r` you should see CONFIG_SERIAL=y if you see CONFIG_SERIAL=m then try 'modprobe serial' if you see CONFIG_SERIAL=n then recompile your kernel. i believe all the default debian kernels come with serial support enabled. also it helps if your serial ports in the bios are hard coded to settings not set to 'auto'. typically serial ports use IRQ 3 and 4, and it helps again to set IRQ3/4 as reserved or set to ISA/Non PNP. also check the bootup logs: dmesg | grep -i tty on my system it shows: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A note that may not be accurate, once i read(i think in the setserial manpage) that the kernel just guesses the address, so in many cases it will be correct unless your configuration is different then it may be wrong and must be changed via setserial. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
