MBX860 serial on J19?

[bgat at open-widgets.com]

Hi!


I have a stock Motorola MBX860 board, and I'm trying to use the serial
ports connected to the Utility #2 connector, J19.  These ports are
connected to the SMSC 37c672.

In short, nothing is working.  I'm using the kernel that comes with
the Red Hat Embedded DevKit, which appears to be a modestly-modified
2.2.13.

I'm in the process of trying out the MontaVista HHL 2.2.14 kernel as I
write this.

I think I must be missing something obvious, because the SMSC chip is
used in a lot of PCs and is therefore probably well supported...

Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm mounting my root directory via NFS, and I have this in /dev:

crwxrwx---   1 root     root       5,   1 Dec  4 13:53 console
crwxrwx---   1 root     root       6,   0 Dec  4 15:54 lp0
crwxrwx---   1 root     root       1,   3 Dec  4 13:53 null
crwxrwx---   1 root     root      99,   0 Dec  4 13:54 parport0
brwxrwx---   1 root     root       1,   1 Dec  4 13:53 ram
crw-r--r--   1 root     root       4,  64 Dec  5 14:13 ttyS00
crw-r--r--   1 root     root       4,  65 Dec  5 14:13 ttyS01
crw-r--r--   1 root     root       4,  66 Dec  5 14:13 ttyS02
crwxrwx---   1 root     root       1,   5 Dec  4 13:53 zero

When I boot, my console (SMC1/COM1) looks like this:
