Like I said, I think its a kernel bug, now prove me wrong by making it work for those of us who need them, and do it with this kernel. I'm off to bugzilla it. FWIW, dmesg on this from a kernel.org 2.6.19-rc5 boot for FC2: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing enabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A 00:0a: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:0b: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A No such report can be found in the dmesg for this kernel. Its a kernel bug AFAIC. -- Cheers, Gene
