Hi guys.

Two questions:

  1. I have an ISA jumper-configurable modem tha is set to COM3/INT10. What i have to
    do to automate the startup to properly set up serial driver?

  2. What about HPT370 support?

TIA

Make sure that PnP Aware OS is turned off in your BIOS
All is set properly. At least satisfactory to run Linux on my box.



You can take a look at the docs for devc-ser8250. For now you can try
the following to see if it solves your issue.

‘slay devc-ser8250’
‘devc-ser8250 -u3 3e8,10’
I can run it manually even concurrently with instance serving access to /dev/ser1 and

/dev/ser2.

Problem is that I have been looking for documentation about config files and found
nothing. Are there any e-docs about it?

Thanks.

The first line kills off the driver if it is currently running.
The second line format is
-u[val](val is the value of the serial port in /dev/ e.g. /dev/ser3)
followed by the IOPORT and IRQ of the modem.

If starting the driver manually works, then the above commands can be
added into a rc.local startup script.

  1. What about HPT370 support?

The UDMA 100 will be supported in QNX 6.2 but RAID is not.

If you’re looking to put your serial driver startup configuration somewhere,
you should put it in a file called /etc/rc.d/rc.local (you’ll have to make
this file). It will get sourced after rc.sysinit runs, and should produce
the result you want.

eg. in /etc/rc.d./rc.local:

slay devc-ser8250
devc-ser8250 -u3 3e8,10
