Newbie question... I want to have a setserial command executed on bootup. My generic Linux books tell me to add the command to rc.local. Suse 8.0 doesn't seem to have one. Do I make one or does Suse do things differently? Thanks!

SuSE uses boot.local -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation

Yes right. I have tested with setserial today placed as shown above. setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x3e8 irq 5, but every time the irq 4 is shown. Thats done on a SuSE 7.2 computer. What could be the reason Togan ??. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards - Vy 73 de oz4kk Erik Jakobsen - erik@urbakken.dk SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional.
Dear Eric, Make sure the Motherboard BIOS has set the serial port to the IRQ you want before you do anything else. PeterB On Sunday 25 August 2002 13:42, Erik Jakobsen wrote:

Hi Peter. The ttyS0 and ttyS1 is set ok in the BIOS. The IRQ for the ttyS2 cannot be set in the BIOS, but can be done by aid of the setserial command. At least its what's my impression :-)

Install the setserial package and use the init script from this package. You can use the YaST2 runlevel editor or insserv or chkconfig to activate the script. -- Thorsten Kukuk http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/ kukuk@suse.de SuSE Linux AG Deutschherrnstr. 15-19 D-90429 Nuernberg -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key fingerprint = A368 676B 5E1B 3E46 CFCE 2D97 F8FD 4E23 56C6 FB4B

The SuSE equivalent is /etc/rc.d/boot.local -- JAY VOLLMER JVOLLMER@VISI.COM TEXT REFS DOUBLEPLUSUNGOOD SELFTHINK VERGING CRIMETHINK IGNORE FULLWISE
