>[Serial problems with post 2.1.8 kernels]
I have some input, which might interest you. Me too, I experienced serial problems in 2.1.9, and noticed that they were due to a mis-set UART type. The UART was correctly detected as a 16550A during boot-up, but then it was set to 16450 from /etc/rc.d/rc.serial (probably a left over from my previous modem). After I removed the offending line from rc.serial, all was fine and dandy again. Thus, at least some of the serial problems, maybe be due to a misconfigured UART type.
Regards,
Alain
