HELP!
I have been messing with this board for a week now and I haven't
even got the kernel to recognize a single port. I am using
"COM_MULTIPORT" option and have the driver lines for sio4-sio11
configured as specified in the sio man page. I started out
with the card set to IRQ15,I/O 0x100 (port 1), didn't get
any response. Tried changing IRQ to 12; no change. Will be
stripping the machine of all unneccessary cards tonight to see
if I have some conflict, but I am pretty certain it is not
the case.
setup:
Intel 486DX2-66;
Adaptec 1542B at IRQ11, port 280?, DRQ3 (SCSI), DRQ6 (floppy) (works)
WD8003 ethernet at IRQ10, port 300a (works)
Soundblaster clone at IRQ9(2), port 220, DRQ1 (works)
multi I/O (dumb) parallel at IRQ7, port 278(?)
serial 1 at IRQ4, port 3f8
serial 2 at IRQ3, port 2f8 (these both work fine - have mouse/modem)
Mitsumi CD interface at IRQ5, port 390, DRQ 5(?) (works fine)
BOCA 8 port at IRQ15(or 12) , port 100,108,110,118,120,128,130,138
Bah! Don't see any conflicts here.
Could this be something to do with the extra two serial ports on the
multi I/O card? (maybe conflicting with the BOCA when COM_MULTIPORT is
used?)
frustrated,
