hi all,
i just installed a new, 2 port, PCI serial board but am baffled by
something. what is strange, and the reason for this e-mail, is that the
board is set to use irq 9 and the ports are initialized on irq 9 (ie in
rc.serial) like so:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x6c00 uart 16550A irq 9 baud_base 115200
setserial /dev/ttyS3 port 0x7000 uart 16550A irq 9 baud_base 115200
yet when i issue the command :
setserial -bg /dev/ttyS?
it says /dev/ttyS2 and /dev/ttyS3 are on irq 2! both ports work
nominally...no complaints there. cat /proc/interrupts says irq 2 is "XT-PIC
Cascade". it shows nothing for irq 9. why is the board initializing on irq
2 if the setserial command says it should grab irq 9? my system is
slackware 7.1, kernel 2.2.16. any explanation is appreciated, thank you.
