Greetings Jim and all,
Under the 2.4 kernel, serial port setup is handled in a new and
better way, really :)
Look in the file /etc/serial.conf
Read the man page for setserial
You will probably have to edit serial.conf to reflect the desired
ttyS<n>, IRQ, and I/O address. The card you are talking about may be
listed in serial.conf. In any case, look for the stanzas that set
the ports to the ones you are getting and edit them to the ones you
want.
fgd.
