I have a IBM Thinkpad 600 (266MHz PII, 64M, etc.) running both Redhat 5.2
and Windows 98. For some reason, I can't seem to get the external 9-pin
serial port to be recognized. Any suggestions, advice, or insights are
appreciated!
Here's some notes:
o I made sure it's enabled using the TP utilites, and I disabled the
internal modem and the IR port.
o I've tried various incantations of setserial v2.15 before I inserted
the PC card modem using the parameters reported by windows 98:
setserial /dev/cua0 auto_irq skip_test autoconfig session_lockout
setserial /dev/cua0 irq 4 port 0x03f8-0x03ff session_lockout
o I added the following lines to config.opts (comments removed):
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
exclude port 0x2f8-0x2ff
include port 0xa00-0xaff
exclude irq 4
exclude irq 7
o I also have a Simpletech 56k modem and 3COM 3c589d ethernet PC card, both
of which work fine. Here's the output from cardctl:
