Use of IRQ 2/9

[John Temples]

I tried installing an eight port serial card on IRQ 2.  I told the
serial driver (FAS) it was on IRQ 9.  It didn't work.  I moved the
interrupt to IRQ 7, and all was fine.  My question is, does anyone
know what the "rules" are when using IRQ 2?  Can it be used with
16-bit boards that are using IRQs >9?  I had a couple of i860
coprocessor boards in the system at upper IRQs, and I was wondering
if this was the problem.
