    If you had to enable CONFIG_ISA then it seems unlikely that you also
    have another problem. Are you sure you installed the new kernel after
    reconfiguring and rebuilding? Double check with "uname -a".

    You cannot change the interrupt assignment for a PCMCIA device with
    setserial. It tells the serial driver to use that irq, but it does
    not reconfigure the PCMCIA socket. Thus, it won't ever work.
