This would be the case, but if I remember correctly, the default kernel that
is used, is not one of the small kernels.  Not only that, but, the kernel
should not matter as long as you are loading the serial in /etc/modules.
One thing you might try, if there is a continued problem, try loading the
serial module before any network modules.  That way, the serial device
should take precedence.

Kory...

I went through the same thing about a week ago.

Assuming that you are using the floppy-disk version of Dachstein rather than
Dachstein-CD, the problem exists because the Dachstein-small kernel on the
floppy doesn't have serial support rolled into it.

Download one of the available Dachstein-normal kernels from Charles' web
site and that should take care of it. I used WINIMAGE to transfer this to my
floppy disk image, then renamed it "linux".

Also refer to Charles' serial "how-to" for additional details if you are
still stuck.

Good Luck!

question I know I am forgetting something but I can't get my new Dachstein
install working with the serial port. I decided to replace my beta
version with a new DS boot image. Everything works but I can't get my
serial port to terminal working. It worked with my old disk but not now.
I loaded serial.o in /lib/modules
I setup the getty line in /etc/inittab (uncommented and set T0:....ttyS0
115200...
added ttyS0 to securetty
ran insmod serial
added serial to the list of modules in /etc/modules

Now "T0" keeps respawning and will not work. What have I missed?
The system is a pentium 200 with two intel eepro100 cards. Is there a
way to check the irq assigned to the NICs?

Thank you,

Kory Krofft
