Hi. I recently installed RH5 from a Cheap Bytes CD but I seem to have problems with the serial ports. None of the /dev/cua* and /dev/ttyS* seem to be recognized by the system. My system is pentium 200 with Vxpro chipset with 32 M. I managed to get X ( XFree86 )working with the S3 ViRGE card (860c325) after quite an effort and noticed that the mouse didn't work, neither did gpm. Digging around I found that: setserial -g /dev/cua* gives me "Operation not supported by device" the same for /dev/ttyS*. X comes up if I link /dev/mouse to /dev/ttys0 but the mouse won't work. Read Serial HOWTO and checked the device files - all file parameters seem to be ok . I have been using RH 4.0 for more than a year and still have it on another partition in the same machine. The serial ports work fine on RH4.0. Running setserial on these devices gives me the appropriate information. So I don't suspect the hardware. Also mouse and modem on NT and Win95 on the other partitions work well. I rebuilt the kernel a few times - serial support ( generic ) is built in however I don't see the driver being loaded at start up. Would some one please help me troubleshoot.
