Hello,
In the bios is there a setting i can confirm the port status as a dce or
dte? Would this situation effect getty even if i didn't have a cable plugged
in, because i'm getting the msg whether i have the cable in or not.
Thanks.
Dave.

Hello,
I've got a box running 6.0-RELEASE. I'm trying to hook serial consoles
in to it, and have set up /etc/ttys and /boot/device.hints to allow me to
do
this. Yet, in /var/log/messages i keep seeing this error:
"Init: getty repeating to quickly on port /dev/ttyd0, sleeping 30 secs"
This is a repeating msg and i never get my serial console. I've confirmed
that the port is showing up via dmesg, the system's bios has it on the
correct i/o address and irq, and the pnp option is turned off. Googling
shows this is an issue, but i didn't see an answer. It seemed to have
something to do with noisy lines, this is a direct comport to comport
connection with a nullmodem cable. I thought about changing the flow
control
option, but didn't see any option for it in /etc/ttys. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Dave.
Do you have access to a breakout box or RS232 tester. Sometimes
signals are not what you'd expect.
I've also seen comports set up differently some acting as DTEs and
others ast DCEs - and connectiong one of each won't need a
null-modem connector.
