using 6 serial ports

[Nico De Ranter <nico@sonycom.com>]

Howdy,

I added a board with 4 serial ports to my PC.  I can access the
first two serial ports on that board but I do not succeed in connecting
to the other 2 ports.  I added support for more then 4 serial ports
to the kernel and I added some setserial lines to /etc/rc.boot/0setserial
but it still doesn't seem to work.  When I boot Linux I get a message
stating:

Serial driver version 4.27 with MANY_PORTS SHARE_IRQ enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
ttyS02 at 0x03e8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS03 at 0x02e8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

Should I do anything special to use the next 2 serial ports? I couldn't
find anything in the serial-HOWTO.

Thanks in advance,

Nico
