This wouldn't happen to be an Iwill board, perhaps using an Acer multi-I/O device, hmm? If this is the case, then you will need a patch for the 'sio' driver, available from Greg Lehey's page (http://www.lemis.com/). This UART appears to have some serious behavioural disorders, and the sio probe is extremely severe about the port working correctly. (In the current context, this is perhaps a little foolish...) -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
