Serial ports

Hi all
I posted a question a while ago to the list about not being able to get
the second serial port ttyS1 (on SMC2) working on my BSE-IP board
running the 2.2.5. The kernel finds the port but when I echo something
to it, nothing comes out of the port. I received some replies but
nothing that was suggested has worked. Could someone please suggest how
I can test the second serial port and then hopefully get it working.
Below are the things that I have tried so far:
I added SMC2 to the rs_table in arch/ppc/8xx_io/uart.c and the kernel
detected the port.
CPM UART driver version 0.02
ttyS00 at 0x0280 is a SMC
ttyS01 at 0x0380 is a SMC
I have made sure that there is the correct device nodes in /dev
# ls -la ttyS*
crw-r--r-- 1 root 0 4, 64 Sep 7 1998 ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root 66 4, 65 Dec 10 1999 ttyS1
Does anyone have any ideas where I can go from here. I am not 100% that
the hardware is working so perhaps that could be the problem.
Many thanks in advance
Grant
