Topic: Question about S55set-serial-irqs

[Jim Little]

I'm running SME 5.6U4.

I just bought a Byterunner PCI 8 port serial card which seems to be working fine and gets detected upon startup but during the boot process an e-smith event S55set-serial-irqs runs and tries to use setserial to set the irq's for the devices.  This causes the box to freeze.

The boot messages seem to indicate that all the serial ports are being correctly identified, is it really necessary to run setserial?  I don't want to (possibly) render my box unbootable by removing the setserial call but currently I can't use the multi-port serial card.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

PS. As an aside does anyone know the magic key sequence to get the command prompt upon bootup so you can go into single user mode?  It seems to have changed.

Probably not. Just remove the symlink.

^X then Mitel-SME.
