We had this same problem on Rackable -- even though the proper tty was setup 0x3f8 irq 4 it was being assigned to sio1. You can see this by 'grep sio /var/log/messages' The only fix for this is to edit /boot/device.hints and reassign the flags to the sio1 interface, like so: hint.sio.1.at="isa" hint.sio.1.port="0x3F8" hint.sio.1.flags="0x10" hint.sio.1.irq="4" hint.sio.0.at="isa" hint.sio.0.port="0x2F8" hint.sio.0.irq="3" On Jul 1, 2008, at 8:23 AM, Marian Hettwer wrote: > I installed a recent (as of today) RELENG_7 on one of our HP Blades. > Unluckily my serial output stops right when a getty at ttyd0 should > kick > in.
