Hi,
Thanks for your mail.


on dmesg | grep tty
i get :

Xen virtual console succesfully installed on ttyS0
(That can explain why it is not weorking on ttyS0, but than why did it
not work on ttyS1 --> i did get an device not found when i started
minicom with a configuration)

on

# cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
file or dir not found

and a
ls /proc/tty/driver
i get:
rfcomm

So serial does NOT exist
What do i have to do about that ??? compile a new kernel ???
