Hello all,
I've just installed a multiport serial card released by an outfit called
Syba. This is an 8 port serial-only card with an Octopus style breakout
cable. The main chipset on it is an ITE IT8871F.
Are you sure ? IIRC IT887x are PCI-ISA bridges with additional periphery
and your lspci shows PLX chip. Can you send complete lspci -vv output ?
Output of dmesg could be useful too.
I'm sure that's what it says on the largest chip on the PCI card. It could
be that the other two chips are more relevant... the numbers from them are
included below.
I've posted up a quick text only page with the diagnostic information from
the system (full dmesg, lspci, etc) plus links to pictures of the board
(since others might see something important that I'm not aware of). You
can access that at
http://pcburn.com/files/Syba_serial_controller/index.html
Can you try an attached patch ? I hope it should at least detect UARTs on
your board. Be ready that baudrate could be wrong, because we do not know
what frequency is used to clock these UARTs.
Alright,finally had another machine to try the attached patch. I get an
odd error regarding IRQ 17:
"irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)"
along with a long error message (but the kernel continues to load).
Aside from that the ports now allow me to run a getty on them and the
DTR line lights up on my serial tester (as it does with a working port)
but the device on the other end doesn't function.
I've updated the web page with lspci -vv and dmesg output. I can also
post it here if that's desirable, just figured I'd save everyone the
inbox flooding :).
