Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning all ... I'm trying to get my serial console to work on my desktop, and appear to be failing miserably at even just getting it to accept a 'getty' serial connection, let alone serial console ... First, my X/mouse runs on /dev/ttyd1 ... if I startx, my mouse does work, but X hangs *very* quickly. Based on this, I know that /dev/ttyd1 does work, at least for a short time. Now, to confirm ... a NULL modem cable *is* pin 2->3, 3->2, right? rx->tx, tx->rx? I've tested the cable using a multi-meter, just to make sure that it is doing what I expect ... If I plug my cable from /dev/ttyd0 -> /dev/ttyd1 on the same machine, run getty on /dev/ttyd1 and use kermit to connect to /dev/cuaa0, I get no response back, which is why I'm wondering about sio ... I've also tried connecting my serial port on my laptop to both /dev/ttyd0 and /dev/ttyd1, and run getty, and that doesn't get any login prompt either ... Since, albeit briefly, I know that /dev/ttyd1 does work when X starts up, I'd expect that getty would give me a login prompt if I enabled it on that port, no? I'm running -CURRENT as of Feb 27th, and am just about to upgrade again ... dmesg shows my sio devices as: sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 16550A sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0 sio1: type 16550A Which look right to me ... I've scan'd /usr/src/UPGRADING to see if there was something in the past that I might have missed concerning sio, but couldn't find anything ... And, sio is defined in my kernel as simple 'device sio' ... Thoughts? Thanks ... Marc G.
