I bet there's a serial getty sitting on the port right now for a serial 
console.  Look inside a file called /etc/inittab for the serial port.  You can 
do it this way:

grep ttyS0 /etc/inittab

If it comes back with a line that doesn't have a # in front, that's probably 
part of the problem.



>>>I come back with nothing:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep ttyS0 /etc/inittab
grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd /root
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ sudo grep ttyS0 /etc/inittab
[sudo] password for jim:
grep: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$
