[EUG-LUG:5247] Re: Resolving IRQ conflicts

[Michael Smith]

Have a look at /proc/interrupts and see who is using what IRQ ans see what's available. For serial ports, the command is setserial. setserial -v /dev/ttyXX will give you the current settings for serial port XX. setserial -v /dev/ttyXX irq 9 sets the irq of serial port XX to 9. The man page for setserial (man setserial) lists all the default settings for each serial port, and 00 and 02 share IRQ 4, so this is probably your problem. If you have a jumper on your modem, set it to a free IRQ and then use setserial to change the software setting. Once you have that right, it's a matter of scripting to have the box automatically run this command when you boot the machine. That is done with the rc scripts.
