ISA SIO Problems

[James F Dougherty]

Hi,

I am trying to use the serial.c driver with HHL-2.4 and modified it
by adding the following entry to rs_table[] :


static struct serial_state rs_table[RS_TABLE_SIZE] = {

#ifdef CONFIG_MOUSSE
  { 0, 9600, 0xffe08080, 4, ASYNC_BOOT_AUTOCONF|ASYNC_NO_FLOW|ASYNC_SKIP_TEST,0,
	  PORT_8250, /* chip */
	  0, /*line*/
	  0, /*rev*/
	  1, /*tx fifo sz*/
	  0, /* custom div */
	  1, /* count */
	  (u8*)0xffe08080, /* IO base */
	  0, /* shift */
          0, /* close delay */
          0, /* closing_wait */
          (struct async_icount*)NULL, /* async icount struct */
          (struct termios*)NULL,
          (struct termios*)NULL,
          SERIAL_IO_MEM,
          (struct async_struct*)NULL
	} /* ttyS0 */
#else
     STD_SERIAL_PORT_DFNS
#endif
};


The serial port is an NS16552, however, if I use any value other than
PORT_8250, it doesn't seem to work and auto-detects an 8250.

The problem is that when I finally do boot up and mount the root filesystem,
the console no longer works, and when I try to exit from my tip console
session, the serial port on my sun box gets wedged.

My serial port does not have H/W flow control, is there some other
options I need to configure (tty terminal ios flags?) in order to
get my serial port to work without HW flow control?

I'm at a loss, as the network was much easier to bringup then the
serial port :-)
