This is the second motherboard about which people are reporting problems with the serial ports (the other is the IWill P55XB2). Both have TX chipsets. Possibly we're not too good with the timing on these boards. I'm forwarding this to -hackers, in case somebody there has an idea. You can help us: 1. Reboot and enter the config editor 2. Set the flags for the serial ports to 0x80 3. Send in the output of the dmesg program. This also goes for anybody else who has this problem. Greg
