Re: slink install messed up hamm partition
The future has arrived.
I didn't wait long enough. I turned my back, and sure enough the serial ports were
back on auto and I couldn't connect. It wasn't different versions of setserial as I
had thought.
Anyway, Brandon, your solution of adding "serial" to /etc/modules appears to have
worked. It's been an hour now and my modem remains set to irq 3.
Thanks for solving the problem, for me.
