Hello list, some of my serial ports are not working. ttyS0 mainboard's port doesn't work, ttyS[45] (PCI-express card) don't work, only ttyS[67] (PCI card) work correctly. I tried the different ports with my modems, a video terminal and my UPS, they work on ttyS[67] but not with the others - using the same configuration and permissions. Probing the modems (using hylafax's probemodem) makes the modem's leds blink, but will fail, on my VT i get hieroglyphics instead of a login.
It smells to me of bad speed settings, or bad cable (inside or outside the box). Double check that the speed, parity, stop bits are the same on all ports. If not that, then try to change the internal cables. -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" at Elessar) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))
