| serial ports refuse to work fc6 I have two PCs running FC6. This PC has 2 onboard serial ports and the other has 1.
I installed gtkterm
I made myself a member of uucp (not that that makes any difference)
On this machine, I can only connect to /dev/ttyS0, it says S1 is not available. Its fine in the bios and on windows it works just perfectly.
Other machine I can connect /dev/ttyS0
However the ports are dead as a nail. I got a loopback in the port (pin 2 to 3 shorted). I put the same device in my notebook running knoppix and it works perfectly my typing is echoed back.
I know the ports are correct and operational.
What is up with FC6? Is there some grub command I need to get the serial ports working?
I got a NMEA gps connected and it works perfectly under windows, but the serial ports don't work under FC6
Any help please? |
