Your descriptions are a bit scanty :) 2.1.127 gives the same error ? message about serial ports is the latest in your boot process ? Did you change /etc/rc.boot/0setserial ? Did you add cua devices to /dev ? These were missing in my installation : 0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 5, 64 Dec 12 00:13 cua0 #perhaps this one shipped with installation-can't remember 0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 5, 65 Nov 19 10:09 cua1 0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 5, 66 Nov 22 01:04 cua2 0 crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 5, 67 Nov 16 01:11 cua3 0 crw-rw-r-- 1 root cesli 56, 0 Nov 17 02:13 adb 0 crw-rw-r-- 1 root cesli 10, 10 Nov 16 01:04 adbmouse 0 crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 10, 154 Nov 16 01:05 pmu #it's a powerbook Claus.
