No, no, these are not the issue. Those of us who are seeing this
can make it work by simply booting an older kernel without
changing anything else.
> What is the result of "strace setserial <your parameter>" ?
Good idea... I keep forgetting about the usefullness of strace for
this sort of thing:
[root@nova i386]# strace /bin/setserial -v /dev/ttyS2 port 0x220 irq 5
autoconfig
execve("/bin/setserial", ["/bin/setserial", "-v", "/dev/ttyS2", "port",
"0x220", "irq", "5", "autoconfig"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
brk(0) = 0x804bcec
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=0, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap(0, 23854, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x4000b000
close(3) = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x40011000

ioctl(3, TIOCGSERIAL, 0xbffff800) = 0
ioctl(3, TIOCSSERIAL, 0xbffff7c4) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "Cannot set serial info: Invalid "..., 41Cannot set serial info:

_exit(1) = ?
> Are the failing ports software PNP modem ?
No, the failing ports are additional serial ports on ISA card, in
at least some cases with 16650 UART (anybody who have a problem
/not/ have a 16650 UART?)
> Is serial compiled as module (".config" serial related lines) ?
No.
> What is your hardware (Intel UP/SMP) ?
Intel PII, SMP board with just one CPU.
