I suppose 3s1p will be very similar to the one done today, but let me as two final questions today - 1) if I have all-serial card (4 serial, no parallel), they'll go to 8250_pci.c, right? 2) if some of the cards correctly work only with APIC disable, is there some quirk to enable for such models, or some other solution to have them working without having to disable it? but if it's too large topic, we can postpone it for later or just can let be.. in any case, have a nice rest of evening good night n. > -- > Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Intel Finland Oy > -- ------------------------------------- Ing.
