Tne init script /etc/init.d/serial (from sys-apps/base-layout) refers to '/sbin/setserial' but sys-apps/setserial puts that utility in /bin/. This affects all attempts to use the initscript to set up serial ports that are not autodetected (i.e. PC/104 ISA serial cards) SUGGESTED FIX: Changing 'sbin' to 'bin' in the reference to setserial makes the system work as I expect. diff -u ~/etc_init.d_serial-orig /etc/init.d/serial --- /root/etc_init.d_serial-orig 2004-08-31 05:37:37.000000000 -0400 +++ /etc/init.d/serial 2004-08-31 05:13:19.000000000 -0400 @@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ return fi - SETSERIAL="/sbin/setserial" + SETSERIAL="/bin/setserial" no_errs=1 done="" ANOTHER FIX: move the setserial utility (back?) so /sbin Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

ii dont know what ver of setserial you have but this has already been fixed in cvs
err, version of baselayout, not setserial
