I don't have any serial controlled devices, but that sound like either: 1. You do not have your serial port configured correctly in the kernel, or 2. The pin-out on the cable is wrong. It appears to not be communicating at all from the messages. On Sun, 2005-12-18 at 16:53 -0700, Chris

I have also had the problem of not running hdparm on the DVD drive where it would fail at random points. Once I turned it on, it not only cut the time to rip by 1/3, but I had no more failures. On Fri, 2005-12-16 at 23:22 +1300, Robin Gilks wrote: Hello I am fairly new to myth and so far
