Apart from the last line, yes. However, my experience has been that
serial ports can't share interrupts, and usually it's ttyS0 that uses
Interrupt 4, not ttyS2 as quoted above. For reference:
Base address Serial port Interrupt
~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
0x3f8 ttyS0 4
0x2f8 ttyS1 3
0x3e8 ttyS2 (5)
0x2e8 ttyS3 (2/9)
The figures in brackets are the interrupts I aim for for those ports,
but whether they get used depends on what else is installed.
There is a system in the kernel that allows compatible serial ports to
share an interrupt, but the only time I've managed to get it working
was on a motherboard with FOUR serial ports that were all part of the
motherboard, and those are rare beasties to find, and thus expensive.
Other than that one exception, I've always ended up giving ttyS2 its
own interrupt.

I would suspect that the above is part of the problem,

That I can't advise on as I just don't know...
Best wishes from Riley.
