[parisc-linux-cvs] Re: [parisc-linux] [PATCH] Serial MUX support for Nova and K-Class systems.

[Christoph Plattner]

Hallo Ryan,

after that long time, I did the first experiment with
your new MUX driver ...

... and it fails on my E55.

But NO WONDER ! I already have the problem finding any
devices on the I/O interface card, and I had no time
since weeks now, to do further steps.

In general I have the problem in basic stuff and in
docu, special for the I/O scanning via PDC in more
details. In the normal PDC/IO there is not enough docu
for that. I was informed, that there is one more docu
handling this, bt I forgot the name, something like
"AIO" or so.

How we can go one step forward, as I also want to 
start (in slowly steps) the SCSI driver ... ?

Bye,
Christoph
