I have installed two 4-port serial cards (http://www.startech.com/
Product/ItemDetail.aspx?productid=PCI4S550&c=US) on a CentOS 4.4
system. The hardware appears to be recognized correctly, as kudzu
added 2 entries to /etc/sysconfig/hwconf and lscpi shows both cards
(output of lspci -vv for both cards included at the end of this email):

However, only the 4 serial ports on one of the two cards are
configured correctly:
# dmesg | fgrep ttyS
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
ttyS4 at I/O 0x5020 (irq = 177) is a 16C950/954
ttyS5 at I/O 0x5028 (irq = 177) is a 16C950/954
ttyS6 at I/O 0x5030 (irq = 177) is a 16C950/954
ttyS7 at I/O 0x5038 (irq = 177) is a 16C950/954
ttyS1 at I/O 0x5060 (irq = 193) is a 16450
ttyS2 at I/O 0x5068 (irq = 193) is a 16450
ttyS3 at I/O 0x5070 (irq = 193) is a 16450
I have no idea what ttyS1-3 are, but I've tested ttyS4-7 and they
work fine. If I only install one card (in either PCI slot 1 or 2) I
get the same 4 ports. If I install both cards, ttyS4-7 work on the
card that is in PCI slot 2.
Any ideas how to get the 4 ports on the other card working?
