I'm used having details like baud-rate handled by argument given to getty via the respective line in /etc/ttys... but that doesn't seem to be the behavior I'm seeing. I couldn't get a login prompt at 9600 baud until I added the following line to /boot/device.hints and rebooted: hint.uart.1.baud="9600" Is this supposed to be how this is done now, or is there something else going on here? Any thoughts as to why the two ports behave differently? This is a Xeon-based system with the Intel S5000PAL motherboard... running GENERIC kernel. Here are related boot messages (with device.hints tuning in place): uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0 uart0: [FILTER] uart1: <16550 or compatible> port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 flags 0x10 on acpi0 uart1: [FILTER] uart1: console (9600,n,8,1) Thanks very much, Charles -- Charles Owens Great Bay Software, Inc.
