Dear serial developers, my suggestion is now following: My box has 3 physical serial IO ports, 1 on MB and 2 on PCI IO board. dmesg | grep ttyS shows this: (rmmod parport_serial and modprobe it again) [ 0.833923] 00:00: ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A [ 9.498473] 0000:03:00.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0xcc00 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A [ 9.519894] 0000:03:00.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0xc880 (irq = 17, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A [ 17.519943] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
