In my case since mobo and ->ISA ports occupy most irq's, I have all PCI cards and mobo USB sharing ->IRQ 11 (USB controller, two graphics, TV digitizer (audio&video), lan ->card, two PCI serials, one PCI parallel). -> ->A possible reason for the problem is that for sharing irq, software must ->be written with interrupt sharing in mind. For the serial module this ->has been done recently (see http://serial.sourceforge.net), so could be ->you had not serial.c updated, and had to not use serial irq sharing. -> I personally don't have any issues with IRQ sharing, but I have seen several MB's have had issues with this under Linux..no matter if the software was written for it. It has to do with the hardware not working properly. The suggestion I made just forces a certain situation. It's all good. If you know of another solution..its cool.
