Been Googling like mad, and found a few people with reasonably similar problems, but unfortunately no luck. It appears to be the serial.o module that's to blame. I tried having it loaded at boot, and it loaded, but I still can't login as anything but root. So I compiled it into the kernel, no dice. Here's the exact error message...
localhost login: myuser password: ********** modprobe: Can't locate module ttyS* which is needed for /dev/ttyS* However, if I login as root and $su myuser it works. That makes me think its a permission issue, but with what? Also, if I try to run kdm as myuser it says 'only root wants to run kdm'. Im pretty sure my permissions are screwed but I don't know where/what. However, to throw a screw into that theory, even if I add myuser to the root group he still cant login from the main login prompt. Beats me....someone help :P Happy thanksgiving!
