[ltp] Lost Interrupt on TP 600X

[Steve Anderson]

Thank You for your response.  A cat of /proc/interrupts showed that
the Adaptec card was using IRQ 3.  After excluding IRQ 3 in 
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts, the card used IRQ 5 and I was able to
perform backup/restore tasks with no further problems.  (According
to the comments in config.opts, IRQ 3 is used by the second
built-in serial port).
