I'm actually seeing a similar occurrence with a local ISP; they're losing characters on both input and output (under both 2.0.5 and 2.1-STABLE) on 16550 ports. The short-term fix for them is to disable the fifos and run as though they were '450s. (Set the flags value for the ports to 0x02) These 550's are on 4-port cards, no IRQ or port conflicts. The machine is a little starved for memory, but still generates _no_ console messages to explain this symptom. The UARTs are a mix of several different brands, so I'm not sure that this is a hardware bogon. > Raoul -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" -Terry Lambert UNIX: live FreeBSD or die!
