Your problem is probably in the mkdev tape, you should specify the
IRQ as 25 and everything should be fine.  IRQ 2 is a special interrupt and
must be defined differently to the mkdev routine.  Change the driver to 25
and give it a shot, leaving the hardware the same, and you should be cooking.

Give this a try.
