Interesting...the ICH also says the same thing, but I didn't have to do any such thing to get serial output. The intel xe7501devkit, which is ICH3, doesn't do it either, nor does the jarrell, which is ICH5R. Given that, I'd say the datasheets lie, and in any case it couldn't hurt to try it ;)
have tried your changes, but then I get nothing on serial.
Also, the tyan s2875 has the same superio as yours, and doesn't do any special setup for it at all, just w83627hf_enable_serial. You might want to take a quick peak at the auto.c there. From a running system, you should be able to determine if it's on 0x2e or 0x4e, just start doing inb from the command line, using 0x2e/4e as a starting point and counting up, when you start finding non-0xff values you've found _something_, although there's no guarantee its the serial port. Some distros (*cough* ubuntu *cough*) don't allow you to do anything under 0x100 though, but iirc arch and debian do it fine.
I run a debian. What do you mean with inb from command line ?
