I've got an old Hostess 550 with 8 serial ports (each driven by
a 16450) and a manual for a newer card. The people at Comtrol
assured me that even though the manual was for a newer card, that
I would be able to configure my card.
Well, I configured it for irq 5 and ports 0x180 -> 0x1BF and
reconfiged and built my kernel. On boot, the card is recognized
as com2 -> com9:
pc0<color> at 0x60 irq 1 on isa
com0 at 0x3e8 irq 4 on isa
com1 fifo enabled at 0x2e8 irq 3 on isa
com2 fifo enabled at 0x180 irq 5 on isa
com3 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x188 irq 5 on isa
com4 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x190 irq 5 on isa
com5 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x198 irq 5 on isa
com6 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x1a0 irq 5 on isa
com7 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x1a8 irq 5 on isa
com8 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x1b0 irq 5 on isa
com9 (multiport) fifo enabled at 0x1b8 irq 5 on isa
wd0 0:<Maxtor 7213 AT> 1:<wdgetctlr failed, assuming OK> at 0x1f0
fd0 drives 0: 1.2M, 1: 1.44M at 0x3f0 irq 6 drq 2 on isa
aha0 reading board settings, 200 nSEC ok, use 250 nSEC
**aha0 probing for scsi devices**
dev0,lu0: type 0:0(direct),fixed 'SEAGATE ST3283N 9303'
sd0: 235MB, cyls 1691, heads 5, secs 57, bytes/sec 512
aha0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa
we0 enetaddr 00:00:c0:a6:65:10 at 0x280-0x29f irq 9 maddr 0xd0000
npx0 at 0xf0 irq 13 on isa
But any attempts to open any of the ports results in:
% echo 'hello' > /dev/cua02
device not configured
I'm using CGD's latest com driver with COM_MULTIPORT and COM_BIDIR
options in my kernel.
I seem to remember that someone who has one of these said that he
had to make a small change to com.c to get his card working.
Can anyone offer any help?
