Help: serial port/minicom

[Daishi Harada <daishi@cs.berkeley.edu>]

Hi,

I recently installed 2.1, and I can't seem to get minicom to
talk with the serial port properly.
I have redhat installed and working on a separate partition, so I
presume that it's not a hardware issue.
I've setserial'ed the port and config'ed minicom so that
(afaik) everything is the same between debian and redhat.
However, it's still not working.
I've tried using both the default kernel and building my own;
both detect the serial port, but still nothing seems to actually
work.

Any suggestions/advice/rtfm pointers would be appreciated,
