(Boot with -c) ATI changed there policy and does now care for register 0x2e8 even in non-enhanced mode, and the probe for the serial ports stomps on this register. It has been fixed in current systems. If you need to stay with the o/s version you have, remove the value 0x2e8 from the list in line 342 of /sys/i386/isa/sio.c (line number only valid for stock 2.1R), and rebuild your kernel. Of course, don't configure your kernel to use sio3 at all. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
