I have few serial controllers, seen on pci bus like this: 00:06.0 Serial controller: Titan Electronics Inc VScom 800L 8 port serial adaptor
They do not work on lenny but they do work on etch. After experimenting a little (first I thought it was udev) I discovered that they stopped working on etch when I upgraded libc6 to the version in lenny (2.7-10, and that upgraded also: binutils libc6-dev libc6-i686 locales). Then I downgraded those packages back to etch (2.3.6.ds1-13etch5) and cards started working again. Symptoms of not working are, on some ports, cu disconnecting when I try to connect, and/or saying "Input/output error", and then setserial saying "Cannot get serial info: Input/output error". Only some of the ports are affected, and I have tried swapping cards, using different pci slots, to no use. The system is fairly typical i386 installation with Athlon processor. Kernel is self-compiled (as default limits the number of serial devices). So how the version of libc6 affects serial devices? Any hints on how to make them work in lenny?
