I have a software I like to use called gmfsk which uses the serial

computer which has a serial port that is not working.
Is the serial port enabled in the BIOS? What does the command
dmesg | grep ttyS
give you? (upper case S).
Hi Lamar, I get nothing from dmesg | grep ttyS and I even tried
/dev/ttyS :-)
Try: dmesg|grep -i serial
Also, I think the driver supports 4 ports rather than saying you have
4 ports, as the chances are you only have 2 (one internal + one
external).
Al.
Well that gets nothing. And I have only one serial plug on the
computer. Not sure why grep missed it...
Yes this worked:
[root@k5di ~]# dmesg | grep Serial
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
[root@k5di ~]#
It took a capital S in Serial :-)
