Hello… Portserver ts 16 worked fine for years over AIX. However ,in order to install it at Debian 6 i had to download the beta drivers. I had two problems… 1)For some reason it messed up with gdm.Couldnt login at all. Reinstalling gdm solved the issue. 2)Didnt startup automatically.Fixed by sysv-rc-conf.That it because distribution incompatibility. I see that there is a newer edition available.Are these issues fixed? ---

2.6.32-5-amd64 After setting again the system from scratch in order to be production ready i had to set RPM\_BUILD\_ROOT env variable… However i had to set it to “” when i did make install… Finnaly i had to monkey a little with dgrp\_daemon init.d thing to work… It needs start and stop level different. 2 3 4 5 0 2 6 i think Unexpectically i got tty\_dgrp\_{id}_{number} and pr\_dgrp_{id}\_{number} Last time i installed beta drivers got tty{id}{number} i cant figure out why this happened. ---

The build environment is a requirement. As for the other behavior, are you using the latest driver candidate with this newer kernel? ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/beta/linux/dgrp/ If so, please post a typescript of the driver compilation/installation: script rpmbuild --rebuild dgrp-1.9-29.src.rpm alien -d --scripts /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/amd64/dgrp-1.9-29.amd64.rpm dpkg -i dgrp\_1.9-30\_amd64.deb dgrp\_cfg\_node init (ID) (IP) (#\_OF\_PORTS) ls -l /dev/tty(ID)\* exit Send the file called typescript from the directory where the script command was issued.
