Still despite the occasional loose nut between the keyboard and chair that I too suffer from, I am curious about this one. If you go to a term window and type $ hardrake2 & (the and is optional) modprobe: Can't locate module serial Please wait while probing serial ports... rmmod: module parport_probe is not loaded modprobe: Can't locate module parport_probe modprobe: Can't locate module parport_probe rmmod: module parport_probe is not loaded Now a check of the modules directory shows that yes indeed serial.o.gz is not present..... HOWever generic_serial.o.gz is, parport_serial.o.gz is and lirc_serial.so.gz is as well. The output of lsmod is Module Size Used by Not tainted lp 6720 0 (unused) parport_pc 21672 1 parport 23936 1 [lp parport_pc] sg 31276 0 (autoclean) (unused) st 26740 0 (autoclean) (unused) sr_mod 15096 0 (autoclean) (unused) sd_mod 11788 0 (autoclean) (unused) scsi_mod 90372 4 (autoclean) [sg st sr_mod sd_mod] ide-cd 28712 0 (autoclean) cdrom 26848 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod ide-cd] floppy 49340 0 (autoclean) maestro 27976 0 soundcore 3780 0 [maestro] pcnet_cs 10880 1 8390 6192 0 [pcnet_cs] ds 6828 2 [pcnet_cs] yenta_socket 9728 2 pcmcia_core 42272 0 [pcnet_cs ds yenta_socket] af_packet 13000 0 (autoclean) ip_vs 74328 0 (autoclean) supermount 14340 2 (autoclean) usb-uhci 21676 0 (unused) usbcore 58304 1 [usb-uhci] rtc 6560 0 (autoclean) reiserfs 169776 2 As you can see a parport module is loaded but no serial module.... Now ttyS0 does exist (I've only one serial port) and unfortunately I've nothing to test it with. (The other intresting thing is that it loads the floppy module even though I don't have a floppy installed right now.) The parallel port does work because I can put the floppy on it and I do get a working floppy. My question is does serial.so.gz = generic_serial.so.gz and what happend to parport_probe or did it ever exist. James
