Anyone know how I get my dom0 to recognize my serial ports? It doesn''t seem to ''see'' them after a standard install with the FC4 1447 rpms. Any help is much appreciated. -- Michael J.

You want to be looking at the CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 section.>From my machineCONFIG_SERIAL_NONSTANDARD=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CS=m # CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI is not set CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS=32 CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MANY_PORTS=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_SHARE_IRQ=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_DETECT_IRQ=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MULTIPORT=y CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=y CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y # CONFIG_SERIAL_JSM is not set Regards, Ted _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
