Serial port woes
Hi,
On a PowerBook 190cs using kernel 2.4.1-20010311, I can boot to a login prompt
and use the system fully, except for serial ports.
During boot I get the following messages:
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
(repeats several times)
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
/dev/ttyS0: No such device
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
/dev/ttyS1: No such device
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
/dev/ttyS2: No such device
etc. for the other ttyS* 's
This is very very strange, because I preconfigured the printer port (the only
port on the PowerBook 190cs) and was able to use "debug=ser" to send logs to
another mac. So I know that somewhere in that kernel, my serial is working.
Any help would be much appreciated. The system isn't too useful if I can't
hook up to a modem.
