Appendix A
Users have to modify the boot loader configuration to support COM port. Take the
grub configuration file as an example. Add ‘8250.nr_uarts=XX noirqdebug’ at the
setting of kernel. Here, XX represents the number of COM ports the system will
support. Because the power subsystem connects to main system via COM port, the
XX must be greater or equal to 6.
1. Modify the grub.conf.
[root@linux ~]# vi /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora Core (2.6.27.5.117.FC10)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.5.117.FC10 ro root=/dev/hda2 rhgb quiet
8250.nr_uarts=6 noirqdebug
initrd /initrd-2.6.27.5.117.FC10.img
2. List the status of the COM ports in the system.
# setserial -g /dev/ttyS*
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS2, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 11
/dev/ttyS3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 10
/dev/ttyS4, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x04f8, IRQ: 11
/dev/ttyS5, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x04e8, IRQ: 10
The node ‘/dev/ttyS5’ corresponds to COM port. The IO port is 0x4e8, IRQ 10.
