Fixed upstream and pushed as pending for next gnumach upload. I had some spare time today and tried again - it is a little bit of fuss, since I need to swap HDs to another computer. I still get com0: at atbus0The device below will clobber IRQ4 (c1051200) You have two devices at the same IRQ. This won't work. Reconfigure your hardware and try again. com0: port = 3f8, spl = 6, pic = 4 (the address of IRQ4 above changed slightly) Now kernel messages look slightly different above and I read before thgat, something which might be the root issue: ide: ALI15x3: enabled read of IDE channel state (en/dis-abled) Succeeded ide: ALI15x3 (dual FIFO) DMA Bus Mastering IDE Controller on PCI bus 0 function 128 ide0: BM-DMA ad 0x8080-0x8087 ide1: BM-DMA ad 0x8080-0x808f <details on hd0 hard disk, hd2 CDROM> ide0: UNABLE TO GET IRQ1 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x276 on irq 4 so it looks like the problematic IRQ is actually used by ide, later the serial port shows this issue. Does this enlighten you? Riccardo
