I've upgraded my old 366 celeron with Award 4.51 bios to Windows xp
from 98SE.
The onboard serial ports were fine with 98SE but are flaged in XP and
will not work.
I've installed the latest sevice pack upgrade but still no go.
The windows trouble shooter is useless.
Is the old bios obsolete? If so is a software fix for XP available or
does the bios need to be upgraded?

did you go into your bios and verify that the hardware com ports
are enabled?
