What does the boot messages report as your UART type for this computer? If
they're anything but 16550s and 16650s then your computer can't handle
33.6 speeds.  Buy a multi-I/O card with a 16550 UART on it or drop your
baudrate.

Interrupt-level means that the system couldn't process the data as fast as
it was coming through and had to drop it.
