Disable all your serial ports.  They are like potato chips, once you
probe one, you have to probe them all. 8-).

You are running a Mach or similar video system that references
port 2e8, even though it isn't supposed to unless the video is
put into a particular IBM compatible mode.  The video is broken.

that won't probe it after you have installed.
