Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 11:52:24 -0400 Message-Id: <20000513155225.A00F737C041@hub.freebsd.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have a thinkpad 600E, and the external serial port doesn't get probed. I am running FreeBSD 3.3 with a KAME snapshot and local changes, but none near the serial drivers. I've tried kernels with and without pnp0. I've tried with the explicit irq4, and with ? Here's the bit of my kernel config: # Serial (COM) ports device sio0 at isa? port "IO_COM1" flags 0x10 tty irq ? device sio1 at isa? port "IO_COM2" tty irq ? # for notebooks/pcmcia modem device sio2 at isa? port "IO_COM3" tty irq 5 vector siointr Things with this notebook are otherwise basically ok; I have X working and pcmcia cards. I haven't tried the USB. The basic result is a boot like this: sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff flags 0x10 on isa sio0: type 8250 sio1 not found at 0x2f8 sio2: configured irq 5 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio2 not found at 0x3e8 Before putting ? for the irq, I got '4 is not in bitmask of probed irqs'. Trying to use sio0 results in a hang. So I believe that the hardware is just not responding. I've tried to do 'pnp 1 0 bios enable' and 'pnp 1 0 os enable'. I've tried setting "quick boot" on and off. pnpinfo reports no pnp devices. In windows (which I kept just to run the control programs), I've turned IR off and the serial port on. On a TP 760ED, I previously ran ps2.exe to turn off ir and on 'sera'. However, in that case, sio0 was there the whole time - just hooked up to the wrong place. Any clues would be greatly appreciated; a search of -questions and -mobile didn't turn up any clues about the 600 series notebooks.
