One more possibility, the serial ports.  Make sure they are configured for 
the right serial chips.  This could cause buffer overrun problems if wrong.  
Mine are set up in /etc/serial.conf

# These are the standard COM1 through COM4 devices
#
/dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x3F8 irq 4
/dev/ttyS1 uart 16550A port 0x2F8 irq 3
/dev/ttyS2 uart 16450 port 0x3E8 irq 5
/dev/ttyS3 uart 16450 port 0x2E8 irq 11
