I have installed and am running : 2.1.5-R. The problem I am having is the kernel can't find sio0. BIOS and : all the DOS/Windoze program say COM1 is where it belongs. I have also : tried enabling sio1. Can't find either. Any suggestions? No suggestions except that I just upgraded to a 200Mhz P6, and suddenly sio2 isn't probed any more. The only cards that I've changed (apart from the motherboard) is a TVGA8900C to a 9FX Reality 332 and a 1542B to a 2940W. I've tried swapping the IRQ between 9 & 5 with no joy - sio3 works with both IRQs..... I've swapped sio2 & sio3's physical UARTs around - same problem..... something must be using the I/O address :( Anyway, I havn't treated the problem seriously - I only actually need one sio anyway.... I must try to find the CMOS PCI setup - it's a Dell, so it's probably on the "Dell diagnostic disk" :( -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
