I have been trying to configure additional serial cards on a system with Ubuntu 9.04.
The two serials on the system are working OK and I have additional 2 X 4(PCI)= 8 Serials. So total of 10 serial ports. I run the following with output as:
#cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
serinfo:1.0 driver revision:
0: uart:16550A port:000003F8 irq:4 tx:0 rx:0
1: uart:16550A port:000002F8 irq:3 tx:0 rx:0
2: uart:unknown port:000003E8 irq:4
3: uart:unknown port:000002E8 irq:3
4: uart:unknown port:00000000 irq:0
5: uart:unknown port:00000000 irq:0
6: uart:unknown port:00000000 irq:0
7: uart:unknown port:00000000 irq:0
8: uart:unknown port:00000000 irq:0
9: uart:unknown port:00000000 irq:0
When I try to connect to the additional serial using the tiny serial program "http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/738335/serial.c.txt" it gives me an I/O Error on the additional serials, but the two on board works fine.
When I do lspci the output is :

It seems it did detect the PCI cards.
When I do "dmesg | grep -i tty"
# dmesg | grep -i tty

How do I setup the Additional serials to work. Out of the 10 serials we have 6 occupied right now and 4 spare for future use. Out of the six, two are working which are on board, How to make the others work.
I am not that familiar with the commands so a detailed help would be required. Thanx:)
