LFS 6.22
My motherboard apparently has a bad serial port: (physical multimeter tests show no voltage when writing to the port) xxxx@cname:~$ dmesg | grep serial serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A Couldn't register serial port COMB: -28 Therefore I bought a couple of Trendnet USB to Serial Converters I've compiled General USB to Serial into the kernal as a module: # USB Serial Converter support CONFIG_USB_SERIAL=m CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y However, when I reboot I don't get udev to give me a USB device like I am expecting. Some documentation on BLFS refers you to the Wiki for USB devices, but that page is blank. can someone point me in the correct direction here?
