You are quite right. I'd only looked at it a million times without spotting that on the computer that was respawing I'd specified the port as /dev/ttyS1 where the /dev/ is of course wrong. One thing I learnt along the way that may help someone is that you only see an entry in /proc/interrupts when a process is actually using the associated device. So the lack of an entry was simply a symptom of getty not running. Thank you for your help. -- Martin Liddle, Tynemouth Computer Services, 27 Garforth Close, Cramlington, Northumberland, England, NE23 6EW. Phone: 01670-712624. Fax: 01670-717324.
