Civileme (I think) said something a while back about 586 rpms may or may not work with 486 hardware. Will apcupsd*.i586.rpm work on my 486? (with --ignore-platform or whatever that option was, of course!). rc

[expert] apcupsd - losing the serial connection
I am trying to setup apcupsd for a backUPS 300Va. I received the serial cable directly from APC for the simple UPS. It seems to start okay, but about 5 seconds after it starts, I can see that there is an error stating "Serial communications with UPS lost" in /var/log/messages. Does anyone know what might cause this? I am using the rpm from the 7.2 distribution (3.7.0) The output I get from apcaccess status is: DATE : Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 EST 1969 HOSTNAME : igor.aerobuilders.com RELEASE : 3.7.0 CABLE: APC Cable 940-0020B MODEL: BackUPS UPSMODE : Stand Alone LINEFAIL : OK BATTSTAT : OK END APC : Mon Jan 08 14:15:03 EST 2001 Also, I get an rwall message saying that the serial connection was lost. Any help would be much appreciated Andy
