I've found a bug in the serial driver 5.0.5, the problem is
that the Sunix pci 4port serial card wasn't correctly detected.
I'm using the serial 5.0.5 serial driver on a vanilla 2.2.19 kernel.
Searching the web I've found this changes that looks wrong :
http://www.linuxhq.com/kernel/v2.3/patch/patch-2.4.0-test7/linux_drivers_char_serial.c.html
here the obvious patch that made it work again here on 2.2.19 kernel.
Should be applied also on 2.4.x :
