The isa probe driver find the serial port.

But then decides that the port is already in use (the existing serial driver).

Please try and boot 3.7.0 with "8250.share_irqs=1", maybe it will pick
irq 3 and it will be happy again, but that is just a guess.

I think I have not fully understood what the failure is. Does the serial
port not work or does the boot hang? What are the symptoms?
With console=ttyS1 the boot will "hang", sometimes it makes it all the way
through but may take 30 minutes, instead of the 2-4 minutes this box
Where does it hang? Any error messages?

Shortly after mounting the root.
After that I get no more output...

Here is a failure log from 4.8.
So does the console on the serial port work on 4.8? Also what does
"cat /proc/interrupts" say with and without my change of ordering the
serial pnp probe before the isa probe?

It could be that the serial driver picking a different irq caused another
driver to be forced to pick another irq which does not work.


Sean

Works is a strong word.  It produces output until it hangs in boot.

It certainly could be another driver but I don't see another irq12 in the dmesg log.

I'll grab some data once I back in the office tomorrow.
