LOL! I've reconfig'd the kernel three times already without finding it 'til now. Now the thing calls my isp when it boots! An easy fix. Thanks all! A question(at least one!) remains: /dev/ttyS0 on <2.6.16 kernels is a sym-link like so [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ls -l /dev/ttyS0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Apr 25 14:21 /dev/ttyS0 -> tts/0 On the 2.6.16 box /dev/ttyS* are actual devices. How is this better than before? Wait, I just remembered , on the 2.6.16 box I chose CONFIG_8250_ACPI and on the 2.6.12/15 boxen that's turned off. That have something to do with it? -mw __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
