This looks like it might be the "auto-config" setting in the setserial script. There is a caution there about using it, but I've never had any trouble with it myself. However, I do edit the file and turn off the "auto". Uncomment the manual config lines for the appropriate ports that you actually have in the machine, and try that. I must tell you though that with Debian I don't do this anymore because it works properly! Other distributions fail in setting the proper IRQ for my 3rd serial port (cua2 set at irq 5). The "auto" setting does work for me on Debian, and properly sets even this port with no problem. However Redhat, versions 2.1 and the new 3.0.3 release, have never handled this properly using the "auto" and must be set manually. Try turning off the auto and see what happens. Paul
