Traylor) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: sio problem with FreeBSD 2.0A Date: 18 Nov 1994 05:12:30 GMT Organization: Southwest Texas State University Lines: 21 Message-ID: <3ahd3u$523@central.server.swt.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: condor.sys.swt.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi, I am currently using FreeBSD 2.0-ALPHA and XFree86 3.1 on a Dell P60 with 3 serial ports. At boot the kernel reports them all as 16550A. While running X and using kermit 5A(189) or seyon 2.14b, the kernel reports the following: Nov 17 21:57:52 vulture kernel: sio2: 2 more silo overflows (total 2) But if I shut X down and use kermit there are no overflows reported. The overflow occurs at 19200 baud and at 9600 baud. So speed might not be the main factor here since running XFree86 seems to help cause the problem. Has anyone else had this problem? (I know its 2.0 >>ALPHA<< but I thought I would ask.) Any suggestions or ideas would be nice. As a side note, I had this same problem with 1.1.5.1. Tom tst@condor.sys.swt.edu
