Hi, How do you know what daemons that currently using the serial ports? My system behaves strangely; when it was init'ed to single user, the serial ports (/dev/ttyS0 and S1) can be probed using setserial -a. But when it was other than single user, setserial -a said that the devices were busy.

MCA

Hi, I booted my newly installed potato on a 486 last week and noticed that it probed MCA bus. Does it mean that Linux supports the bus? Since when? Kernel 2.2? Wow, this would be really neat. I hope so, because here in my workplace we have about 8 RS/6K/MCA machines that need new souls to make
