And in repeat tests it is quite evident that IDE disk activity is, indeed, at least part of the problem. As IDE disk activity increases an increased amount of data coming in on the serial port goes missing.
Lee, you mentioned 2.2.x kernels did not exhibit this problem. Was this on the same hardware you are currently testing? Which 2.2.x version were you using? Was the 2.2.x serial driver also identifying the UART as a 16550A? Can you get /proc/interrupts output from both the current setup and the 2.2.x setup? It would be interesting to compare the interrupt assignment and UART setup between the versions. -- Paul - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
