You aren't doing the "wild interrupt detection" stuff in your setserial
options are you? That is a known 'kill the SMP machine" problem. I use
serial ports on my quad-xeon with no problems, but I specifically use the
setserial options that are correct for my ports, specifying the IRQ, etc,
manually.
I had this a long while back in 2.0 and 2.1 kernels, but since I don't do
the 'wild int detection' option any longer I haven't been killed by this.
