The 0setserial script seems to include the lines:
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS0 irq 4 port 0x3F8 skip_test autoconfig \
${STD_FLAGS}
and
${SETSERIAL} -b /dev/ttyS1 irq 3 port 0x2F8 skip_test autoconfig \
${STD_FLAGS}
which probably don't work too well on machines which assign the serial
ports IRQ 12 and addresses 0xffeeb004 and 0xffeeb000. IRQ 3 is, moreover,
already assigned to the SCSI bus. Shouldn't be hard to fix :-)
