Dear Kurz,

	I have an application that uses serial comm. with a litle Microchip PIC programmer. And I have the same problem.
	In the moment, the solution was instalation of Codeweavers Wine from wine.codeweavers.com, but I'm studing why the Wine from winehq.com has this problem.
	This event ocours because the codeweavers is an older version of wine,but is very stable.
	Other older version, from winehq, runs ok.
	Lowson wrote me an e-mail with a method to call wine and debug the serial access:

It that doesn't help, maybe

wine --debugmsg +comm,+file blah.exe 2>&1|tee logfile

will at least give you different error messages, which might tell me
what is wrong.

Or you could just give up and boot with the boot parameter
"devfs=nomount".  I _think_ that will disable devfs and give you back
your old /dev/ttyS* devices.  Maybe.
