Date: 30 Jul 1994 09:03:42 GMT Organization: Simplex networking Amsterdam Lines: 55 Message-ID: <31d521$107@News.Simplex.NL> NNTP-Posting-Host: xs1.simplex.nl X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hiya, I have the following problem with two AST-compatible 4ports in my FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine .. apparently the kernel doesn't recognise any of the ports on the cards. In my kernel config file I have : device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector siointr device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq 3 vector siointr #device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr #device sio3 at isa? port "IO_COM4" tty irq 9 vector siointr device sio4 at isa? port 0x2A0 tty irq 5 vector siointr device sio5 at isa? port 0x2A8 tty flags 0x0501 vector siointr device sio6 at isa? port 0x2B0 tty flags 0x0501 vector siointr device sio7 at isa? port 0x2B8 tty flags 0x0501 vector siointr device sio8 at isa? port 0x1A0 tty irq 9 flags 0x0501 vector siointr device sio9 at isa? port 0x1A8 tty flags 0x0001 vector siointr device sio10 at isa? port 0x1B0 tty flags 0x0001 vector siointr device sio11 at isa? port 0x1B8 tty flags 0x0001 vector siointr Also 'options COM_MULTIPORT' is defined .. None of the above works (except for the two COM ports) .. The IRQ of the first card is 5, the second is 9, IO addresses are correct .. I really don't know what to do next .. The messages I get are : Jul 30 12:44:53 XS1 /386bsd: Probing for devices on the ISA bus: Jul 30 12:44:53 XS1 /386bsd: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard Jul 30 12:44:53 XS1 /386bsd: sc0: VGA color <6 virtual consoles> Jul 30 12:44:54 XS1 /386bsd: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa Jul 30 12:44:54 XS1 /386bsd: sio0: type 16450 Jul 30 12:44:54 XS1 /386bsd: sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa Jul 30 12:44:54 XS1 /386bsd: sio1: type 16450 Jul 30 12:44:54 XS1 /386bsd: sio4 not found at 0x2a0 Jul 30 12:44:54 XS1 /386bsd: device is multiport.

I would be very gratefull for some advice .. - Rob.
