I've submitted the following bug against setserial. If anyone on this list can give more pointers, or clues, or patches, please follow up to the bug.
-- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> Package: setserial Version: 2.14-3 >> 2) /etc/rc.boot/0setserial croaked with "Cannot autoconfigure port: >> Invalid argument" -- extremely minor, as those serial ports are not >> likely to be used for anything. If this is the same init script as >> in the i386 version, perhaps there should be a differnt one for >> Sparc? Enrique> Again, I know little about serial ports on Sparc, so I can't Enrique> tell for sure if this is a bug in setserial or not, but I Enrique> think just commenting out the AUTO_IRQ=auto_irq line will do Enrique> the trick. Perhaps setserial should detect it's running on a Enrique> Sparc and not try autoconfig if that's not supported in that Enrique> architecture. Again, my vote is wishlist (or normal) bug Enrique> against setserial. I'm not sure what the problem is exactly. Either a bad sparc interaction or a bad kernel 2.2.x interaction. I'll ask if anyone on the Debian sparc list shed more light.
