The "fix" could be to have the serial IRQ handler never unmask interrupts,

Ingo's RT patches would probably fix all of this.


I did a Fedora 7 installation and installed Ingo's kernel from here:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/realtime-preempt/yum-testing/yum/i686/kernel-rt-2.6.21-0182.rt11cfsv17.i686.rpm

Even then, the problem still occurs, unfortunately.

Thanks,

Lee.
