Subject: 2.5.64 ttyS problem ?

Hi,

Any one see this problem ? Is it a known problem ?
How do I fix this ? I am running 2.5.64.

# minicom
Device /dev/ttyS1 lock failed: No child processes.

# ls -l /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 65 Mar 14 10:23 /dev/ttyS1

# echo "test" > /dev/ttyS1
#

Thanks,
Badari

Pat Mochel reported this problem in the past. I think it might be fixed
in the latest -bk tree, have you tried that?

Hi,

has anyone another solution? I tried 2.5.62 to 2.5.65, same result.

Is this the no "serial" module problem? It seems to have been renamed
"8250", but not everything knows that yet...
