It's sunny on this coast (nyah nyah), and I'll be leaving soon for a
birthday party. Mainly need to wait for the isapnp results, but in the
meantime, here are a few comments.
Serial port support: I don't know anything about KDE, so I can't tell you
what k* app to use. But the command-line program "dmesg" will let you look
at the dmesg buffer; the early boot/init messages are written there, so you
can see if thekernel is detecting serial ports. Or just try "setserial
/dev/ttyS0" -- if it works, you have serial support in the kernel, or
autoloaded as a module.
Which kernel: 2.2.15 is out. Just FYI. 2.2.14 isn't quite the "latest"
stable release.
Loading modules: I don't use Mandrake, but it probably loads modules the
same as Red Hat -- via entries in /etc/rc.d/rc.local . Just a guess, though.
