Its not the puc per se as the transition from sio to uart from /usr/src/UPDATING 20080713: The sio(4) driver has been removed from the i386 and amd64 kernel configuration files. This means uart(4) is now the default serial port driver on those platforms as well. To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver uses different names for its device nodes. This means the onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to use the new device names. When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints at the loader prompt: set hint.uart.0.at="isa" set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" set hint.uart.0.irq="4" boot -s >-- Karl Denninger > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike
