what could be the problem?
My 1c has the serial port on a superio chip. I recognize this problem from other boards. I also have a 3c3 where I saw this before I fried the 5536 ATA driver.
Sorry didn't understand what you actually mean here... that I have fried my hardware?
Sorry! No not at all!
The serial port on alix1c is on the Winbond superio chip. The alix2 and 3 boards do not have this superio chip and their serial port is connected directly to the 5536 - and this is probably the reason that serial doesn't work anymore.
that's interesting.. but seems like kernel correctly detects ttyS0 and spits it's messages to it
.... console [tty0] enabled console [ttyS0] enabled .... Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing disabled serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A ....
but after init starts it doesn't work anymore :( devise is present: ls -la /dev/ttyS0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4, 64 Oct 9 21:06 /dev/ttyS0
any clue how I can get it working?
The 5536 port shall of course work too, but the Winbond chip is much more common.
I only meant that I haven't spent any time on my 3c3 board since I fried it.
hmm.. sad..
Sorry for the confusion!
that's ok I sometimes do not understand english quite well ;) I've checked with native bios -- works fine
