Aargh, what´s eating my serial IRQs?
I have a strange problem with a newly configured Debian system.
The hardware is an Asus P55TP4 with a P166 CPU, a 3com 509b p&p,
2940UW, ATI Mach64, no IDE drives. This system works fine under
NT3.51. On Linux, however, there´s no Mouse support.
The pnp card is configured by the BIOS and can be found at the
default address when I insmod the proper driver (io=0x300, irq=10).
During the boot, the system recognizes them as 16650 UART driven,
and IRQtune sees them, too. But a cat /proc/interrupts shows
neither IRQ 3 nor 4, and a cat /proc/ioports misses the 3E8/2F8.
To confuse matters further, /dev/ttyS* seems now to be owned by
dialout, and not by tty as on my system at home.
Any ideas what I might try to get my serial ports to work? I´d
really prefer to have X _with_ a mouse :-)
TIA,
