what about the i/o ports? there still could be an i/o port conflict

on my box:

/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
[...I have no com3...]
/dev/ttyS3, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 2

com3 and com4 are dangerous to work with ..an i/o conflict can just as
easily(if not easier) to crash a machine then an irq conflict. i spent
many hours hamemring away at hardcoding my devices to make sure they are
all independent of each other. if possible set the mouse on com1 and modem
hardcode to com2 (with default i/o addresses) and see if the problem
persists..is there a reason why you are using com 3 and com4 ? i got a ups
on com2 and modem on com4 ..nothing on com1 at the moment(mouse is ps/2)
