Modem with new motherboard
I got my new motherboard (I got the Tyan S1590S like Serge's) with a new
K62-400. It's pretty sweet - I went from 119 bogomips to 790, and Redhat
booted right up. Unfortunately it's not recognizing more than 64MB of mem,
my CD or my modem. I remember there's a setting to make Redhat recognize
the other mem and I can live without the CD for now but the modem thing is
annoying.
Next week I'll be installing Redhat 6.0 but in the meantime I was wondering
if anyone had any suggestions. My modem was working on cua2 with my old
mb. It says it's on IRQ5 now so I did the following (at the advice of a
posting I found on Deja) I changed the modem to point at ttyS3 instead of
cua2 because I read that the use of cuaX is being depracated.
rm -f modem;ln -s ttyS3 modem
Then I ran this to point the modem at ttyS3:
setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 16550A port 0x2E8 irq 5 spd_vhi
Does this make sense or am I misunderstanding something. The modem isn't
responding at all with this setting.
Thanks,
Brady
