at grub boot screen, press F3 (options) select default and add the following parameter:
Code: [Select]
8250.nr_uarts=6
press ENTER to boot your system, when up and running check output from dmesg, you six port should be recognized...
to make the change permanent, you will need to edit the file /boo/grub/menu.lst, adding the parameters.

what follow next, depend on the type of use and from the applications you want to use ..  ;)

#


/boot/grub/menu.lst

Open it as root for editing

Before doing so ensure that the change will do as you wish byt following the instructions to enter the
8250.nr_uarts=6
when selecting the boot option during boot time.

Did you do this first?

Before editing the menu.lst file you should ensure that the edit will work by following the above advise.

IF you have checked that it works, and all is OK, then the following edit should make it permanent ....
