GB7CIP UPGRADE help reqd pls(2)

My thanks  for the  feedback from  my previous  plea for  help Matt M0ZAI, Gus
I0OJJ Jim WU3V
Jim I did not know about the dmesg trace command very usefull

Now to follow up from my last  bulletin 1 April 2014 GB7CIP UPGRADE help  reqd
pls
I am aware the log listing are greated that 78 characters 

I spent  most of  yesterday into  the early  hours of  this morning  trying to
establish
what is going on with the serial interfaces.

So back requesting help from Packet Land Support.

I will briefly recap, then give details of my investigations and lastly
the what the system details the serial devices


Moving all the services that have been running for 20 years on my slarkware 
ip/ax25 server gb7cip.ampr.org over to Ubuntu. 12.04 lts... kernel 3.5.0-48 
A task that I started in the Spring of 2013. 
After many false attempts in the previous ten years.

I  have copied  across my  configuration files  and edited  them to  meet  the
current
directory structure and interface changes.directory structure and interface changes. 
Install and compiled all the source using Charles K4GBB Scripts]

I have a VSCOM TC-800 PCI 8 port serial card vscardcfg-1_62 
Using the dmesg trace

We have proved that it is recognised by the system
the six ax ports have been anotated.  The other two unused ports
at the moment will be use by linfbb HF Pactor as before

If I run the kissattach for 
If I run kissattach just for all six interfaces ax0 to ax5
with  sleep  delays,  so  that I  can  check  the  configurationwith  sleep  delays,  so  that I  can  check  the  configuration setting  with
ifconfig
it configures the first four ax0-ax3  Interfaces and pick upi the port details
from 
the axports file correctly. continuing ax4 to ax6

Checking the setting again with ifconfig, 
I find that ax0, ax3, ax4 have lost there settings e.g
ax0       Link encap:AMPR AX.25  HWaddr
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:256  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

Early this morning 03:30 hourswhen I left the server running
I had lost three interfaces ax0, ax3, ax4
checking the system which is still running since 03:30 Ihave lost
ax0 ax1 ax3 ax4 i.e only two serial interfaces up.
