I upgraded my kernel a few weeks ago and, because I rarely use my serial ports (only for the odd FAX), I never noticed they were missing until today. I'm running 2.6.15 on a Testing build and have compiled in most of the serial driver support for good measure, i.e.:
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250, CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_HUB6 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=6 but still the serial ports are not detected on bootop. I also note that whereas previously I had /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 they are now missing, although I don't think those devices missing actually means that the kernel won't find the hardware on boot. Any ideas on how to proceed? When I boot into the old 2.4 kernel the serial ports are identified without problem with following boot information: Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI enabled ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Maybe there is something outside of the serial drivers support I need to include in the kernel build?
