I have a computer with a skylake motherboard (ASRock IMB-195), and I'm trying to use the on-board serial port (/dev/ttyS0). I'm using Ubuntu Server with Linux Kernel 4.4.0-72.



If I boot with acpi=off, I get the following output (dmesg):



Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
serial8250: ttyS3 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A


with acpi on:



Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled


Completely disabling ACPI is very suboptimal (can't reboot without manually power cycling for example).



Is there a way to disable the parts of ACPI that are preventing the serial driver from working?

  • First step would be to compare dmesg after boot with and without acpi=off, and see what goes wrong. There are also tools to decode the ACPI tables (but the ACPI spec is difficult, this isn't fun).

You can try "acpi=noirq" instead. That's the only way I can get my ttyS0 to work with Serial-Over-Lan on an Intel AMT platform. It doesn't seem to have any ill effects but if anyone else knows a better solution, please share.
