Try removing 8250_pnp, 8250_pci and other modules which keep fighting
nsc-ircc for the serial port.  Does that stop the hangs?

Sure it is a box, even if it is a pizza-box with a lid ;-)

I worry about the fights with 8250_pnp/8250_pci, I got a few complains from
8250 about too many irq3, which is a clear picture that it is touching
something it should never touch (because the FIR device is NOT a 16550A when
in FIR mode)...
