<div dir="ltr">I don't think isapnp would do anything with serial ports. Check BIOS for enabling serial ports first with proper I/O, IRQ numbers. The other day I needed serial port to communicate with one embedded board. Took me about 15 minutes to find out that serial port one was set differently in BIOS than 3F8-4 and picocom wont speak with the device. Test were done with latest Puppy Linux not Debian!<br>

motherboard so, if I remember correctly, all the serial and parallel<br>
ports are behind the PCI-ISA bridge. The problem is that I don't seem<br>
to have access to the ISA bridge though it does show up in lspci:<br>

00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton<br>

Normally I would expect isapnp or an equivalent module to activate it<br>
but that's not working. I can't seem to find anything online about a<br>
missing isapnp or anything remotely similar. I'm using the prebuilt<br>
kernels for this system so why isapnp isn't there is just confusing me.<br>

Thoughts?<br>
