| |
I've seen similar posts to this one, but no good responses.
Since going from 2.0.36 to 2.2.0pre6 (to get parport features), when my rc.local sets up my fourth serial port for the attached text terminal:
/bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS3 irq 11
I get the famous "device or resource busy" message. Worse, if my PPP connection dies, it cannot restart because attempts to get at /dev/modem (/dev/ttyS1) suddenly receive the same message.
So far all I can do to free up the modem port is to restart. When I do, prior to the shutdown, /dev/modem somehow becomes available again and the modem begins dialing. I'd like to figure out what process is being killed that suddenly makes the modem available. Better, I'd like to figure out what it is about this kernel that is making it so hard to configure and use my serial ports.
