[ltp] serial port stays quiet on TP600

Hi,

I'm stumped by my serial port not responding.  I'm trying to use
pilot-xfer to backup my palm but only get 'pi_bind: Invalid argument'.

I enabled COM1 with tpctl and verified ports (0x3f8) and irq (4).  But
'setserial /dev/ttyS0 autoconfig auto_irq' fails to recognize the
port, the UART is still unknown! The hardware is OK as verified with
W98.

Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks,
  -tom
