The only reference I could find in dmesg for serial ports is this: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded GSI 20 sharing vector 0xC0 and IRQ 20 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 eth0: Identified chip type is 'RTL8169s/8110s'.

How do I get the serial port to work in CentOS 5.1 + Xen? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff
