How did you get the info for the port and irq. The
port number somehow does not look correct to me.
cat /proc/devices and check to get the port number and
the irq from there, and then use it for the setserial
command. If you already have done it, then my
knowledge is exhausted!
Once you do the setserial it will work for the
duration of the current boot. That is why you should
put in the rc.d/... files to make it work on every
boot (as you have done so).
