I have those..."ls -al /dev/ttyS*" tells me that the files exists..
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Jul 5 23:14 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Jul 5 23:14 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Jul 5 23:14 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Jul 5 23:14 /dev/ttyS3 so that means I don't need to use mknod... but "setserial -agv /dev/ttyS*" gives me: /dev/tty0: No such device /dev/tty1: No such device /dev/tty2: No such device /dev/tty3: No such device I have found the relative part of the bios to configure serial ports.. it's under UART1 and UART2 right? I tried automatic, manual settings of resources in bios to coincide with the default serial.conf. uart1=3F8/irq 4 uart2 =2F8 irq 3 but still the module cannot be detected..it still complains that there are no such devices (ttyS0-ttyS3)... any clue? ----- Original Message ----- From: Hendrik Sattler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: jdls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2001 1:28 PM Subject: Re: repost: serial problems..please help Am Donnerstag, 22.

Her it does this: crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Mar 22 20:07 /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Mar 3 01:50 /dev/ttyS1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Mar 3 01:50 /dev/ttyS2 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Mar 3 01:50 /dev/ttyS3 Should look the same on your system. If not you have to create the devices first. Use mknod to do so. > what do mean enable serial ports in bios and how do I give them specific > resources? > I don't remember seeing any feature of being enable/change resources of > serial ports > under the bios...is it under pnp/pci configuration or somewhere else? This may very from BIOS to BIOS. It mostly at the same place where you set IDE ports paramater, e.g. DMA and PIO mode, and the parallel port to SPP/ECP/EPP/ECP+EPP (may differ, too). Automatic assignment is o.k. but I wouldn't recommend it. HS -- Besucht mich auf meiner Webseite: http://www.hendrik-sattler.de PingoS - Linux-User helfen Schulen http://www.pingos.schulnetz.org
