At this point I think I've about run out of ideas as to what could be causing such an error, as a short while ago I was able to make a connection using the serial port.
What I'm trying to do is configure a terminal server, and I need to get access to it through a serial port to configure its network interface. The particular machine I'm using supports serial console redirection, but I've disabled that in the bios. I also removed the flags in the boot loader that redirect output to the serial port upon system boot, and also disabled any console running there in /etc/inittab. At the moment 'lsof | grep /dev/ttyS0' doesn't return anything. Just in case the terminal server itself (which was reset to factory defaults for a reinstall), somehow was attempting to make a connection to the particular serial port in question I powered it down, but that made no difference. Can anyone suggest anywhere else to look for the source of the problem?
