Linux 'loses' serial settings

Hi all

I have an old AcerAltos 7000 which has builtin serial controllers. As
these are 8250's, I bought an addon serial controller with 16550A's on it.
The on-board controller is disabled through the bios. Sometimes, when
Linux boots, it detects (output from dmesg):
< snip >
Serial driver version 4.24 with no serial options enabled
ttyS00 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 8250
ttyS01 at 0x02f8 (irq=3) is a 8250
< snip >

Is there any way to force Linux to find the 16550A's?

Colin
