Serial PCI ports
I am trying to install debian on a SUN CP1500 board.
It contains an UltraSPARC-IIi 270MHz. The
ethernet and the serial
ports are exported via the PCI backplane.
We have an hw adapter board connected providing an
interface towards the ports. Ethernet works fine
and the installation system starts ( network boot ).
But something seems to go wrong in the port
setup process because the system keeps going
"Bummer, can't open /dev/tty4" every few seconds.
Anyway, I have been able to go through the whole
installation process, even though the error
messages thrashes the output ;-)
When I start my installed system, no serial devices
are working.
Is there something I can do in the install shell
to fix this problem?
