ISA shows up in lspci, but my mobo has no ISA slots...
Hmmm... I ran lspci -v and I discovered these lines:
00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 01) Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0 {non-verbos lspci gives me 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82815 815 Chipset Host Bridge and Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82815 815 Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 02) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA/CA/DB/EB PCI Bridge (rev 01) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801BA IDE U100 (rev 01) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1) (rev 01) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM SMBus (rev 01) 00:1f.4 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #2) (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Audio (rev 01) 01:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller (rev 01) 01:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30) 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c) } Now, last I checked, I had no ISA slots on my motherboard. Why do I have an ISA bridge? Am I totally thinking of the wrong thing here? Does my mobo use the ISA bridge for other purposes? I compiled my own 2.6.5 kernel a while back, and I disabled ISA support since I didn't think I had it.... ? |

Hmmm... just out of curiosity, is there anything that would run on the ISA bridge besides ISA slots?

Really? The reason I was asking is because I am having trouble getting my external modem to work. I plug it into the 9-pin serial port on the back of my computer, but it is not detected at all. I tried running KPPP through all the serial ports, but it just didn't find anything (/dev/modem didn't work, either). Again, I am wondering if this is because I disabled ISA support, and that somehow affected my serial port (hey, I could make that into a snappy tune: "I disabled ISA support / that affected muh serial port!", hmmm maybe I should go do some homework).

i had a similar problem getting the serial port to work (missing /dev/ttyS0) in linux 2.6.7-ck4
when you are configuring your kernel you need to say Yes to 'support for 8250/16550 serial ports' (modules don't work) also 'find these 8250/16550 ports through ACPI namespace' can be ticked and this is a PCI serial controller as well so ISA shouldnt have anything to do with the serial ports. |
Hey, a big thanks to all you guys.
I recompiled my kernel, following db's suggestions, and after troubleshooting a few more errors--fixed by a few linuxQuestion search--I was bumping along at a peppy 56k--well, you know, less than 56k, but still the internet! As a side not, I had also been trying to get my smartPCI561 card to work, and it looked promising, with the 2.6 kernel drivers supplied by the company themselves, but I got some funny errors. A few searches essentially yealded the conclusion "give up, and use the external modem". I wish others better luck than I had with the smartPCI561. :-D Again, thanks to all. |
