Hello Carlo,
I had a similar problem with SuSE 6.1. I had programs that were
using the serial port and were working fine with 5.2 and not after
the upgrade to 6.1.
It seems (this was a little bit hard to find and I'm not sure
this is the real reason) that the serial port isn't initialized
properly.
I found that running setserial by hand after being logged as
root solves the problem (I'm using ttyS0 and I grabed the
corresponding line from /etc/init.d/serial). T tried to find a
way to do that automatically a boot time but I didn't succeed.
While I'm writing this e-mail, I'm wondering about something
that could be done with Yast - as far as I remember, it seems
that there is a menu used to configure serial port (Hmm, not
sure...).
Try to run setserial by hand to check if it is the same problem
as me.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Jean-Marie
