I am under the belief that the current 2.6.27 (fedora 9 64) use polling to process interrupts. I'm not sure how setserial can install an interrupt driven driver. I currently have all my serial ports (and parallel) turned off in my BIOS.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
Thanks for the reply. I have now discovered the the Acer Aspire One with Linpus does not have either setserial or getserial available. So I'll need to work out how to get them installed.
