USB Serial Converter

[gutorjo]

I installed Gentoo and kernel 2.6.16 on my Laptop and I have some problems to conect a USB-RS232 converter.

I can see an outuput to USB in /var/log/messages when I connect the cable on the USB port.

There is also a message on dmesg
serial8250: too much work for irq11

I'm trying to use minicom and I can´t find any answer for this problem.

Have you tried using a different usb port? Seems like your IRQ's are already filled up on that one.
Do you have any boot options in grub ? You could try pci=routeirq.
