Don't know about the "/dev/" but my kernel (serial built-in) says: Serial driver version 4.13 with no serial options enabled tty00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A tty01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected -- driver installed. APM BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x1b (Driver version 1.2) very near the beginning and: Initializing random number generator... Configuring serial ports.... done. /dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A Typematic Rate set to 15.0 cps (delay = 500 mS) INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 later on. > I have tried running the 0setserial script from /rc.boot/ (i think thats > correct) and that says they are /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1 but it also produces > a wierd error, something like; > > cannot get serial info: not a typewriter > > Does anyone know what this error means? or what i can do to fix it and where > the serial ports are set up on boot (i.e. what init script). Is that "Cannot set serial info" ? Maybe the serial ports are have got set oddly in your CMOS, or a resource or IRQ conflict. > I have serial support compiled as a kernal module and it is loaded on boot but > that puts an error message in /var/log/messages but i can't remember what it > is, something to do with an option. Are you sure that's not just from the first batch of messages above?
