The current code would probe 4 ports recognized by BIOS. If BIOS doesn't initialize PCI serial devices, then it won't work. The devices would need to be configured and enabled. I don't think the necessary code is present in GRUB. That's not to say that it cannot be written. By the way, there is a nasty bug in the serial driver that affects non-PC machines. I'm fixing it now. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
