hi,
the serial ports on thinkpads can be configured in bios in three different
ways: Enabled, Disabled and OS Controlled. In my experience, switching the
serial port from OS Controlled (the default) to Enabled solved the
problems - you might want to try that.
then again, this might not be the problem, as setserial does recognize one
port. if you have windows on the machine, does the serial port work in it?
