Hi Nathan,

Couple of questions:
1. Was login over serial console setup and working on SLES 11?  or was
the 'console=ttyS1' only for debug output?
I ask because console output doesn't use IRQs; iow, maybe the serial
port w/ driver never actually worked.
2. Can you post dmesg for the SLES 11 setup?  That would show if there
were probe errors even on that.

An alternative that should be equivalent to your previous setup is to
build w/ CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_PNP=n
Seems like your ACPI BIOS is buggy, but also that something else is using IRQ 3?

Regards,
Peter Hurley
