Help getting a 2.6 kernel with ports that work
Can someone tell me how to get a 2.6 kernel that installs and
gives me ports that work? I get ppp.log errors like "Can't get
terminal parameters: Input/output error," kern.log says "Serial:
8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 48 ports, IRQ sharing enabled" but
"ttyS1: LSR safety check engaged!"
My 2.4 kernel in kern.log shows "ttyS01 at port 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a
16550A"
report-hw shows lots, ask if you want more but I don't know how to
read it and know the module/kernel/config to make 2.6 work. Please
help me get this done or understand what to do.
