Re: Help with serial synths in 4.X kernels

Samuel,

Is your patch supposed to take the place of that lame patch I used to post that just commented out the return code? I cant get my tripletalk hardware speech synth to work. I edited /default/grub and added"

8250.nr_uarts=0". Then I compiled a kernel with your patch and installed it. But saying "modprobe speakup_ltlk" doesn't work and generates error messages in the syslog. I've cut/pasted them below. I am guessing the key line is the one that says, " Unable to allocate port at 3f8, errno -16".

Yes, you also need to prevent the conflict between the 8250 driver and
the speakup driver.

Also, if you set 8250.nr_uarts=0 what happens  to other serial
ports you may need for modems, or other applications?
They won't be available.

I'm sorry, but until somebody actually gets to take the time to
implement solutions, that's all we have.
