Found some evidence in dmesg: [ 2792.950610] serial8250: too much work for irq4 On boot I have: [ 2.052078] Serial: 8250/16550 driver4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled [ 2.052192] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 2.052644] 00:0b: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A I have one physical serial port on this Dell Latitude D510. Under Windows , it's COM1 so I'm trying to use ttyS0. I've been looking for USB to Serial adapters in CDR-King branches to no avail. I believe using USB will solve this problem? Guess nobody uses them anymore... Permissions are OK, and I assume the "too much work" error implies that the kernel driver was called. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
