Very Computer

other notes:my mouse is linked to cua0 and works fine cua1 is presently
not used, but is an external connector cua2 doesn't exist at all and
cua3 is my internal 2400baud modem.
I just installed from SLS1.02 and only modified enough files for X to
work and then installed seyon.  Other than that, nothing has been
changed.  When booting, it does auto detect these three serial ports.

Any help would be appreciated.
        THANKS,
                Nelson

Hope you get it fixed.

The lock files are either in /tmp or somewhere in /usr/spool (I forget
which); they have distinctive names which should be easy to spot.  It
is quite common (and safe) to delete these in your /etc/rc script to
avoid exactly this kind of trouble.

Later when I re-compiled the Kernel I noticed a question something like
"Do you want serial lines to be inited at boot up?"

I answered yes and since then I nerver had problems with that.
