pnp off - change

I used dmesg to find the default address and 
serial 0xe800 9600 worked great. Thank you.

Do you know how I force the kernel to use the same address?

Just put in the I/O port your BIOS assigns to it.  This should be 
consistent across boots unless you change the hardware configuration. 
You *may* have to turn "PnP aware OS" to "Off" in your BIOS settings 
(this setting is really "Skip initialization of cards I don't recognize.")
