Serial port driver on CentOS 6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I installed CentOS 6 on a Dell Optiplex 790 with a StarTech.com dual serial
port card, and the serial ports aren't being recognized.  According to dmesg,
only the built-in serial port is being recognized:

# dmesg | fgrep ttyS
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

And lspci -v doesn't show that any drivers are loaded for it:

# lspci -v

What do I need to do to get these serial ports recognized?  On some other
CentOS 6 systems with StarTech.com serial cards they were automatically
recognized (different hardware and not PCIe based).

Thanks,
Alfred
