Hi Andrei
I've found PCI specification and dumped its registers, so now I can identify Subsystem Vendor ID/ Subsystem Device ID. Is this what you want to know?

Looks like it is 1000:0002. Do you need something else to help me?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry Andrei, I'm not with you. Could you please specify what do you mean. I've found http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/pci.ids database and if you take a look this link you can find below part:

Or do you mean I need show you which chip is used for this device?

I think BIOS can't recognize this device as serial adapter. I will try 
to other one. Thank you to your support.

Yes, I saw this serial card from lspci output. But I haven't found how to display detailed information for certain card. Sooner I'll give you 
output from lspci -i.

Hi Andrei
May I ask another question? How I can debug this behaviour? I
believe that
BIOS initializes this adapter. Need to say that "PnP OS" was setted 
to "Yes"
value. I've changed it to "No" and ... same silence in the minicom.
Well, assuming BIOS did initialize this card it may use different port 
address. The one you see in setserial output is assigned by Linux
driver. I do not know how flexible it is, but I presume they may
change.

Try lspci command in GRUB. Does it show your card at all? It also
displays some details of current card setup.

You may want to use "set pager=1" otherwise output will scroll too
fast.

If you see your card could you send screenshot of information GRUB
shows?


Then I
pulled out this adapter and inserted this pci serial adapter to the 
other PC
computer. It has already integrated COM port, this one is working
fine, I
have tried to do serial connection via pci adapter, but again I've got 
nothing. I just want to figure out is this something I can do with
motherboard or my pci adapter is not compatible. If I need to change 
this
card do you have list of pci, pci-e card that successfully can by
used? Is
it possible I've faced to situation when two motherboards can't
initialize
this hardware?

Thank you in advance.

Hi thank you for helping me!
Unfortunately I haven't got serial access to the grub after adding 
this
piece of configuration:

insmod pci
insmod serial
insmod terminal
insmod terminfo
###serial --speed=115200 --port=a880 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1 
serial --speed=115200 --unit=0 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1

terminal_input serial
terminal_output serial

May be I need some sleep time after inserting pci.mod. How I can
do this?



You can pause with "sleep NN" but as I already wrote this is not
likely
to work anyway - either GRUB needs code to initialize your PCI card 
or
BIOS should do it. Try BIOS settings, in the past it was common to 
have
something like "PnP OS" where "no" would cause BIOS to initialize all 
available hardware and "yes" would leave it to operating system.

When I tried to manually type a "serial --speed=115200 --unit=0 
--word=8
--parity=no --stop=1" in the grub command line it complains
that COM1
port don't exist. I have played with unit and port attributes 
but
without any luck.
Does "serial --port=a880 ..." work? If not, what exactly happens?
Note that you may need to load at least PCI bus driver (insmod 
pci)
for
this to work.
I've tried to use it that way but it didn't find com port again. 
I'll try to do insmod pci and write to you tomorrow.
Yes, please let us know, but on firther consideration it probably 
won't
help either. Card likely needs to be initialized first, and this 
requires driver that knows how to do it. serial driver in GRUB
presumes
hardware is in working state already. Someone would need to
implement
it.
By the way is it possible to share documentation about some useful modules in the grub? I havn't found any information using google.
