[ltp] problem with 9-pins serial connector ?

[linux-thinkpad@www.bm-soft.com]

serial port hot plugging should not be a problem
there is only low voltage on any pins not much chance of 
shorting something (IMHO).

perhaps one of your peripherals is screwed up  - seems unlikely
that you would get more than one faulty motherboard.

best luck
