0x2f8 is the io-adress of the second serial port, which is currently
claimed by the serial driver. You can check in /proc/ioports or in
/proc/moodules if serial.o is loaded. To unclaim it type
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 uart none

Then try again to irattach irda0 -s 1.

If you are using Debian, don't forget to adjust /etc/setserial.conf so
you don't have it to do every time you restart.
By the way, i'm using kernel 2.4.0-test5-pre6
