Dirk, I MAY have figured out a work-around. Try the following and see if it fixes your problem. I am not sure why this problem occurs, but disabling and then re-enabling the PNP serial port seems to correctly initialize it. For some reason the newer kernels aren't correctly enabling our serial ports. I couldn't see a reason after a look through the two sets of kernel sources (dapper and feisty).
- cd /sys/bus/pnp/devices/00:02 - confirm that PNP device 00:02 is your serial port by doing a cat on "resources". It should show the standard ttyS0 serial port stuff with io ports starting at 3f8 and IRQ 4 - disable this device by "echo -n 2 > power/state" - re-enable this device by "echo -n 0 > power/state" Matt -- Serial ports of some HP Laptops don't work in Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74034 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
