What is the output of "ls -l /dev/ttyS*", "ls -l /dev/cua*" ? Is the serial port in-use when you try to configure it (uugetty or gpm running) ? Are your serial ports enabled in BIOS ? Is there IRQ or I/O conflicts (cat /proc/ioports) ? What is the result of "strace setserial <your parameter>" ? Are the failing ports software PNP modem ? Is serial compiled as module (".config" serial related lines) ? What is your hardware (Intel UP/SMP) ?
Thanks, Etienne.
