Hello Lev,

to be precise, I disabled serial ports 3 and 4 and
swapped ports 1 and 2 to the back panel in the
machine's BIOS. 

Then I added a test to the ioapic_config_intr function
to detect the  trig == INTR_TRIGGER_EDGE and
pol == INTR_POLARITY_LOW case and to rewrite it to
INTR_TRIGGER_EDGE and INTR_TRIGGER_HIGH.

I have not tried to enable port 3 and 4 because I
cannot test them (could not find the necessary
connectors).

Regards

    I've tried to disable ACPI access to these UARTs at all, then only
  two of them are detected, but they don't work either. And I cannot
  disable 2 and 3, as screen I have attached to this box (old IBM-made
  LCD from register/cashier machine, which works perfectly with FreeBSD
  default text console on this MoBo) cannot show text (!) BIOS setup
  screen to me -- it shows only blue noise and looks like compeltely
  out-of-sync.  I need to bring this box to some other dispaly and try
  to disable these two UARTs AND disable ACPI for them with loader
  tunable.
