Hi all,

this is my second thread on these boards. Anyway, I'm having trouble with my configuration to allow me to get to my serial ports, I have a relatively cheap board (an ECS K7VTA3) so I've had a fair share of problems with it already (sound, and random lockups (fixed those)). I know that the southbridge chip is a VIA 82Cxxx and works just fine under kernel 2.4.20. But the serial port doesn't work under 2.6.0. Here's a section of the .config file that I think is the culprit
