It's a netmos 9835 serial card with 2 ports. PCI, there is no PCIe in
the machine as far as I can see.
Can they
tell what IRQ the device is reportedly using in Windows and if it
matches what Linux reports?
I can ask them. What I know is that with acpi=noirq (or with the quirk)
the IRQ number is 10, with acpi without the quirk, it's 11:
PCI: setting IRQ 2 as level-triggered
serial 0000:00:09.0: found PCI INT A -> IRQ 2
0000:00:09.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x1898 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
0000:00:09.0: ttyS5 at I/O 0x1890 (irq = 10) is a 16550A
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKB] enabled at IRQ 11
PCI: setting IRQ 11 as level-triggered
serial 0000:00:09.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LNKB] -> GSI 11 (level, low) ->
IRQ 11
0000:00:09.0: ttyS4 at I/O 0x1898 (irq = 11) is a 16550A
0000:00:09.0: ttyS5 at I/O 0x1890 (irq = 11) is a 16550A
I still no point in comparing this to Windows' setup. We can't find out
whether it is quirked or better (without some bug) handled there.
