LTP1 should use IRQ7.
IRQ Ports 2 & 9 -Taylor
COM2 typically uses IRQ 3. The Interrupt Request (IRQ) is a signal used by hardware devices to get the attention of the CPU. In the case of COM2, which is a communication port, it uses IRQ 3 to communicate with the CPU for data transmission and reception.

By default IRQ 7 is assigned to LPT1.
COM1 is assigned 3F8h and uses IRQ Channel 4, COM2 is assigned 2F8h and uses IRQ Channel 3, COM3 is assigned 3E8h and uses IRQ Channel 4

The floppy disk drive (FDD) commonly uses IRQ 6. This interrupt request line is designated for the floppy controller, allowing the CPU to manage data transfer between the floppy disk and the system. It's important to ensure that no other devices are using IRQ 6 to avoid conflicts.
By default, the IRQ for the floppy disk controller is IRQ 6.
IRQ Interrupt Request 3 are usually reserved for COM port (1,2,3,4) but can be assigned to anything.Interrupts are a commonly used technique for computer multitasking, especially in real-time computing. Such a system is said to be interrupt-driven.An act of interrupting is referred to as an interrupt request (IRQ

IRQ 0 - System timer. IRQ 1 - Keyboard. IRQ 2 - Cascaded signals from IRQs 8-15. IRQ 3 - COM2 (Default) and COM4 (User) serial ports IRQ 4 - COM1 (Default) and COM3 (User) serial ports IRQ 5 - LPT2 Parallel Port 2 or sound card IRQ 6 - Floppy disk controller IRQ 7 - LPT1 Parallel Port 1 or sound card (8-bit Sound Blaster and compatibles) IRQ 8 - Real time clock IRQ 9 - Free / Open interrupt / Available / SCSI. Any devices configured to use IRQ 2 will actually be using IRQ 9. IRQ 10 - Free IRQ 11 - Free IRQ 12 - PS/2 connector Mouse. IRQ 13 - ISA / Math Co-Processor IRQ 14 - Primary IDE. If no Primary IDE this can be changed IRQ 15 - Secondary IDE These are just a set of standard IRQs. For much more detail check our Ralf Brown's list located at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ralf/files.html
To check IRQ (Interrupt Request) settings in a Linux system, you can use the command cat /proc/interrupts. This command displays a list of all interrupts, their corresponding IRQ numbers, and the associated devices using those interrupts. For a more detailed view, you can also use lspci -vv to see which devices are assigned specific IRQs.
LTP1 should use IRQ7.
