The above lines implement isa devices. To get si02 on the PCI bus you'll need to remove the lines for sio2 and sio3. Now add a line to look for serial on PCI device sio Yes, without any further qualification. For it to work the device needs to be recognised by the system PCI scanni= ng=20 software; which might or might not be the case. But at least you have a=20 chance. Your present kernel configuration has no chance ;-) # pciconf -lv=20 may also be interesting to see what the software does find; have a look a= t the=20 pciconf man page. Malcolm Malcolm
