I wonder if someone might be able to offer any thoughts on why my 
rc.cyclades file works fine with kernel 2.0.36 and not with 2.2.12?

Here is what I see running these two kernels.


Kernel-2.2.12

Configuring serial ports....done.
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS2 at 0x0140 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS3 at 0x0148 (irq = 10) is a 16550A

-----------------------

Kernel-2.0.36

Configuring serial ports....done.
/dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS2 at 0x0140 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS3 at 0x0148 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS4 at 0x0150 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS5 at 0x0158 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS6 at 0x0160 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS7 at 0x0168 (irq = 10) is a 16550A

As you can see 4 ports are being missed with the 2.2.x kernel and attempts
to install them manully won't work. Here is what I see:

Here is what it looks like when I run ttyS6 manually:

bash: /dev/ttyS6: Permission denied
ve1drg:/etc/rc.d# ${SETSERIAL} /dev/ttyS6 uart 16550a port 0x160 irq 10 
^fourport

These are the permissions on port ttyS6:

crw--w--w-   1 root     tty        4,  70 Sep  8 14:40 ttyS6


Any thoughts would be appreciated..
