I have exactly the same problem. I have a Microsoft-busmouse port that
keeps making up interrupts (300 in 11 seconds) even though I have
explicitly disabled it! I wonder, if this is a general mis-feature in
busmouse ports...
Ted's detection routine recognizes serial ports by fiddling with the
UARTs and trying to cause an interrupt. If it gets one, it assumes
that a serial port exists. There you have it: umphteen spurious serial
ports, all using IRQ 5.
