On the face of it, it looks like every kernel should have this problem if you have other devices on IRQ 4. Other devices (ehci_hcd:usb1 eth0 ohci1394) are already using IRQ 4. lirc_serial doesn't request a shared IRQ unless you use the "share_irq" module parameter. A request for exclusive use of IRQ 4 will fail if it's already in use. So I suspect that if you use the "share_irq" parameter, it will work. I recently fixed a similar bug in the 8250_pnp driver: http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=cb6358eb69d9854f65f2979c0ce9280eee041828 It would be nice if lirc_serial used PNP to discover its resources. Then we should be able to handle this automatically, without any module parameters.
