Hi Jame,

I trust you miss:
"(i reboot with 2.4.20-pa35 and it's working, so it exclude hw pb)"
(to be more accurate, I would mean that I reboot the b180 runing 2.6 with

2.4 without any other changes)

Anyway your comment help me to find out my pb:

To be absolutely sure I reboot it twice the system:
one with 2.4 and re-test minicom which works ok
second with 2.6 and just noticed more that at boot console:
[...]

Starting portmap daemon: portmap.
Loading the saved-state of the serial devices...
Trying to free nonexistent resource <fff83800-fff83807>

/dev/ttyS0 at 0x0000 (irq = 90) is a 16550A
/dev/ttyS1 at 0xfff83800 (irq = 106) is a 16550A

[...]

and so 'exit 0' the setserial startup script.

reboot again with 2.6 and now minicom works also fine :)

Thanks a lot and hth,
    Joel

PS: I will try to check (after end year holidays) what could be wrong with
setserial?
