I used "make menuconfig" and configured the kernel by hand (having read the configuration from the old 2.2.18 config), was it wrong? Does "oldconfig" makes some magic conversions from old version of configfile?

No my serial driver is configured into the kernel dmesg | grep serial outputs nothing, but 'dmesg | grep 165' reports: ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A When I use my own program using the serial port or "minicom" the serial interrupts get activated (in /proc interrupts: CPU0 0: 570951 XT-PIC timer 1: 16118 XT-PIC keyboard 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 4: 9 XT-PIC serial 8: 1 XT-PIC rtc 9: 138453 XT-PIC eth0 10: 35904 XT-PIC es1371, eth1 12: 221904 XT-PIC PS/2 Mouse 14: 37033 XT-PIC ide0 15: 41 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 ERR: 0 MIS: 0 ) So it is not a problem with serial drivers probably. (Anyway irport should work even without serial driver, but didn't) -- Regards, Wojciech M.
