Found an interesting issue here.
HP ProLiant ML150 box (dual xeon 2.4GHz) with intel
chipset (lspci output below) and NetMos PCI 9835
Multi-I/O Controller.
Boot with no fancy options on kernel command line.
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/irq
11
# modprobe 8250
# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 11 port 0xa400 autoconfig
the serial port does not work: close'int the file
after writing something stalls for a while, and nothing
gets written. Ok.
# rmmod 8250
# modprobe parport_pc
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 193
# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:00.0/irq
193
# rmmod parport_pc # as it will conflict with 8250 here
# modprobe 8250
# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 193 port 0xa400 autoconfig
now the serial port works.
In other words, one have to load and unload parport_pc to
trigger that IRQ change, after which serial driver works.
When booting with pci=noacpi, the irq here is always 169,
and everything works fine (modulo the parport_pc vs 8250
conflict which is a different story).
Without that parport_pc "ping" hack, the whole stuff looks
like a BIOS problem. But parport_pc behaviour makes it..
more interesting... ;)
Kernel is 2.6.11.
BTW, we have another prob with this very Netmos card and this very
machine: sometimes, the whole machine hangs hard when using serial
driver, so only power button helps. Happens with 2.4.* kernels
(it assigns IRQ18 to the card) and with earlier 2.6.x kernels.
Dunno if the two are related.
