You appear to have ttyS01 and TTYS03 on the same interrupts, which
isn't usually a good idea and probably is the reason for the problem.
I also note that the device names have changed - in the 2.0 series
kernels, they are ttyS1 and ttyS3 respectively - so if there's any
"setserial" commands in your startus scripts, they'll not work as
they're pointing to the wrong devices...
ALAN: Have those device names really changed between the 2.0 and 2.1
series kernels?
Best wishes from Riley.
