LOL! I've reconfig'd the kernel three times already |
| 16 |
without finding it 'til now. |

Now the thing calls my isp when it boots! An easy fix. |

A question(at least one!) remains: /dev/ttyS0 on |
| 22 |
<2.6.16 kernels is a sym-link like so |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
heathen@sarawak ~ $ ls -l /dev/ttyS0 |
| 25 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Apr 25 14:21 /dev/ttyS0 -> |
| 26 |
tts/0 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
On the 2.6.16 box /dev/ttyS* are actual devices. |

How is this better than before? Wait, I just |
| 31 |
remembered , on the 2.6.16 box I chose |
| 32 |
CONFIG_8250_ACPI and on the 2.6.12/15 boxen that's |
| 33 |
turned off. That have something to do with it? |
