Do a "setserial -g /dev/ttyS?" and have a look at the IRQ output. I
suspect that it'll say "0" (i.e. autodetect is failing, as it does on my
system here with .102, so the serial driver reverts to polling, which
means trouble with any serial speed above ~1000 bps). You can work
around this for the moment with a "setserial /dev/ttyS0 irq 4" etc. etc.

Cheers,
Sander
