Well, from my "shot-in-the-dark" department.
The BIOS says where the serial ports are, and That information is
typically stored in CMOS RAM on board. In the process of moving from one
case to another, it is possible to short the CMOS and clear it. (There
are jumper pins on the board to do exactly that in the case of a
forgotten password, etc.)
I would check the definitions of the serial ports in the BIOS first. If
the interrupts seem unusual, a setserial instruction may be necessary,
but the definition may also be changed in the BIOS.
