Gentoo Nut UPS [solved]

[mystified]

I already checked my bios. And the setserial command did not work. Still no response.

If you have set your serial port as per these instructions, and set proper serial port parameters with 'setserial' as root, and still have this problem... I'd be thinking about going back to the Belkin Bulldog software.

Yes I've followed those instructions.

 

I am also trying the Bulldog software and get all kinds of java errors. I'm trying to figure out how to fix my java. I've posted on the Gentoo forum.

It's not going to matter what I use unless someone on the Gentoo forum comes up with a miracle. I compiled all the support in for my serial port but when I ran a command it showed it had no driver. It should have a driver because it was compiled in but it's not. I've recompiled my kernel twice. The module that needs to be there is there and when I do modprobe it shows no errors. I think I'm going to have to give up on this one.

i wouldn't compile it into the kernel, if that's what you're doing. compile it as a module, and then modprobe the module (you can't modprobe something that's compiled into the kernel).

I compiled it into my kernel as a module. How else could I do it?

Compiling it into the kernel and compiling it as a module are two different things. Please make sure you know which you are doing. If you compile it into the kernel you do not need to modprobe it, it is part of the kernel. If you compile a module, then you have to modprobe it to load it. Chances are if you are grabbing the source and compiling it yourself, or compiling it from a gentoo ebuild, then it's being built as a module. If you are compiling it into your kernel, you'd have to go into the kernel config and select to compile it into the kernel.
