Hello all,
I have a chipdrive and a Palm Docking Station on my Serial Port and both are not working.
I use the gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.8 and my Serial-Port is on a ASUS A7N8x Deluxe.

The serial Port seems to be recognized:
Syslog:
Code:
 
Oct 7 19:05:21 neuer kernel: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
Oct 7 19:05:21 neuer kernel: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A


dmesg |grep tty
Code:
 
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A


I compiled the towitoko-Driver with --enable-win32-com and used the tester-Prog with this result:
Code:

Port (COM[1..n] or USB[1..n]): 1
Initializing terminal at COM1...
Error on port allocation: -10
*******************************************************************

(same with port 2)

The chipdrive worked with my Laptop and under WinXP :oops:
The relevant settings in my .config are:
Code:

#
# Character devices
#
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD is not set

#
# Serial drivers
#
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CS is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI is not set
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=4
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED is not set

#
# Non-8250 serial port support
#
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_UNIX98_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y
CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256
# CONFIG_PRINTER is not set
# CONFIG_PPDEV is not set
# CONFIG_TIPAR is not set
# CONFIG_QIC02_TAPE is not set


Any hints, any ideas, more Information? Please help me!
