i suspected the modem too so tried a us robotics (usually have a gdc connected)...both behave the same. seems to be related to warnings at bootup re: PCI ... there is a serial USB controller on IRQ 10 that is one of the PCI devices that isn't recognized (identified by number)... i tried disabling it and manually configuring /etc/rc.boot/0setserial but still get the same behavior. i need info on this PCI bizness. i read the PCI-HowTo but found nothing there of any use
the only debian cd i have is 2.0.27 (kernel) think i'll try hamm if i can find a cd...maybe PCI problems have been eliminated best--c On 2 Jul 1998, Miquel van Smoorenburg wrote: > In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > Chea Prince <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > >have included serial support in the kernel and on bootup shows serial > >devices being assigned to /dev/cua0 /dev/cua1 and /dev/ttyS0 > >/dev/ttyS1 but 'cat /proc/interrupts' shows no serial devices at > >IRQ 3 & 4. > > That's OK; the interrupts are only allocated when the port is actually > opened.
