I'm still working on the different os boot, but I have noticed the following in the meantime:
- ttyS4 shows it belongs to root, and is in the tty group. All the other ports are in the dialout group. What does this mean? If that is a problem, how do I fix it?
roger@roger-desktop:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyS[01234567]
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 64 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 66 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 67 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS3
crw-rw---- 1 root tty 4, 68 Feb 25 20:07 /dev/ttyS4
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 69 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS5
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 70 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS6
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 71 Feb 25 13:01 /dev/ttyS7

I'm a member of both groups.
