I have the same problem on Ubuntu Hardy and Lenovo Thinkpad T61p.

I need to use the serial cable to do my work, but minicom exits before displaying anything and says that device /dev/ttyS0 disappeared.
dmesg prints the following:
[435438.377880] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
[435446.329923] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!
[435451.910779] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!

[435527.553299] ttyS0: LSR safety check engaged!

This is not only annoying but it seriously blocks me from using the serial cable which I would need right now very badly. I will try if I disabling IR works on this machine too, but I would hope this gets fixed in the Hardy kernel too.
