Subject:   IPC TopNote G serial ports not working
Message-ID:  <20011125162349.L45942-100000@titanic.medinet.si>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a mostly noname laptop (IPC TopNote G model
Green797). Most of the hardware works fine, including PCCard, sound and
graphics.  I'm having trouble with the serial ports. I have tried 4.4-RELEASE,
but then upgraded to 5.0-CURRENT, thinking that the ACPI support might help.

If I put the sio0 line in /boot/device.hints, dmesg displays this:

sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on isa0
sio0: type 8250

If I remove the sio line from device.hints, sio does not even appear in the
dmesg output. The laptop has a Phoenix BIOS and offers Win95/98, Win2000 and
Other as options for the "PnP" setting in the BIOS. I set it to "Other",
because that makes the sound and USB support work, but tried the other two
settings without success.

I searched the internet and found a mail from someone having the same problem
installing Linux on such a laptop. My search for a BIOS upgrade was
unfortunately unsuccessfull. Of course, the serial port works just fine under
Windows ME.

Any idea how I might get that damn serial port going? pnpinfo just displays
this:

Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...
No Plug-n-Play devices were found

Below are the dmesg and acpidump output.
