I just installed Chris Demetriou com-beta in an attempt to solve some
of my serial woes and am getting a system hang when an open() is attempted
on one of the com ports.

My com card is standard (16450) and it did work prior to adding com-beta
(just not as well as I'd like, works fine from dos).  I started from
0.1 dist with the 0.2 patches then added com-beta without any problem.

Now any access (comcontrol or tip) to the /dev/tty00 hangs the system.

I have turned on COM_IGNOREFIFO, COM_MULTIPORT, COM_BIDIR in my config
and used a device line of

device          com0    at isa? port "IO_COM1" tty irq 4 vector comintr

Any ideas?

Eric
