Was this on the same hardware you are currently testing? Which 2.2.x version were you using? Was the 2.2.x serial driver also identifying the UART as a 16550A? Can you get /proc/interrupts output from both the current setup and the 2.2.x setup? It would be interesting to compare the interrupt assignment and UART setup between the versions. -- Paul
