I am running 4.8-RELEASE and I am having issues getting COM2 setup. We have a need to connect to another machine's console with this machine. In the BIOS COM2 is setup for IRQ3, not auto. Yet on boot I get the following: sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 COM1 on this machine is working and I can console from the other machine back to the this machine. A few searches indicate that I could put something in the /boot/kernel.conf to some how get this to work, but they did not go into detail on what to place in there. In my kernel I have the following: device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 flags 0x10 irq 4 device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 Which I think is the default. Getting someone to actually be on keyboard with this machine is a little hard so hopefully I can get this fixed at the OS level. Is there a method I can have the system check to see what is at what IRQ? I have access via console to the boot loader.. Perhaps the person who configured the BIOS for me actually set the wrong IRQ and I need to change it in my kernel? Any idea's would be greatly appreciated.. Scott
