Hello, SuSE experts!
I'm instold SuSE 6.2 few days ago and now trying to set up AX25-utils. I'll
try to explane my problems.
First of all, I have 4 COM-ports on my PC with IRQ's 5 and 9 for COM3 and
COM4.
After installing SuSE, compiling a new kernel and installing the latest
AX25-stuff (libax25-0.0.7
tools-0.0.5 and apps-0.0.4) I was cheking ttys* devices with setserial -g
/dev/ttys2 and I always got the message "I/O error". The same with
kissattach: open: Input/output error. My TNC (kissmode) is connected to
COM3, so I have to remove /dev/ttys2 and create it manualy with
mknod -m 660 /dev/ttys2 c 4 66 and
chown root.tty /dev/ttys2
Also I was edit *serial for proper IRQ and UART.
Then I was able to make kissattach, BUT "listen" and "call" was not working.
Also I realised, that during booting linux threre was no messages concerning
AX25 and kiss.
Then I inserted kissattach string to /sbin/init.d/boot.local
After that i got the following during startup of linux :
unning /sbin/init.d/boot.local
Serial driver version 4.27 with HUB-6 MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450

ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16450
ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16450
ttyS2 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16750 ## this is wrong! must be IRQ 5 and
UART 16550A
ttyS3 at 0x02e8 (irq = 2) is a 16550A failed
Setting up network device eth0
I wonder, where is this "Serial driver version 4.27 with HUB-6" from ??? I
don't use it!
Why "Cannot set serial info: Device or resource busy" ??? What I'm doing
wrong?
I don't have such problems with SuSE 5.3
Sorry for my English.
