Thanks Jack, I hadn't thought of setserial. On my Sarge system I don't have a /etc/serial.conf
But I do have a /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf I just ran dpkg-reconfigure setserial and chose the 'manual' option for editing the config file. Then I commented out the line for /dev/ttyS0. Rebooted to check the output and the message is gone. I really should learn the Debian way for these kind of things but for now that'll do. And the keyboard error has most likely always been there, didn't notice. Thanks Jon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Pistachio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "debian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 9:51 PM Subject: Re: Disabled COM1: ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged! > Not sure about the keyboard error, but the LSR safety check > messages are because setserial is trying to load your > autosaved seriel port settings, which are now different. > To update it (and thus fix the error message) do the > following: > > man setserial > setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig > setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig > (not sure why but sometimes I've had to actually do this > twice) > > then remove the 1st line in /etc/serial.conf if it is > ###PORT STATE GENERATED USING AUTOSAVE-ONCE### > > That should update your serial ports to the new settings. > -jackp > > > --- Jon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi all. > > > > Recently I got cable internet access.
