<div>Hey folks.<br><br> I just recently replaced my backend server
with something newer and much more robust (P4D 3gig with a gig of ram
and 1.25 terabytes of storage). i am very happy with the system except
the fact that many new motherboards only come with one serial port.
this is the case for me and this is a problem as i am feeding my two
PVR-250's from my two satellite receivers and i need the second port to
change channels on the second receiver. i bought a startech pci serial
port card, but i am having trouble with it. I spoke with them and they
did not have a lot to day about it and i am hoping someone here will be
able to help. when i do an LSPCI i get the following
<br><br> 06:02.0 Serial controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [16550])<br> Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Unknown device 0001<br> Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 17
<br> I/O ports at 1070 [size=8]<br> I/O ports at 1068 [size=8]<br> I/O ports at 1060 [size=8]<br> I/O ports at 1058 [size=8]<br> I/O ports at 1050 [size=8]<br> I/O ports at 1040 [size=16]
<br><br>this makes me believe that the OS is aware of the card and it
is just not installing the drivers. i am including a list of
/proc/modules just in case it helps.<br><br>If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
