On my Suse 6.1 (2.2.5) setup the boot-up claimed to have detected a serial port
which then didn't work. I fixed this by taking a look at
/etc/rc.d/Serial
and uncommenting one line relating to "manual configuration" or something.
Running
Serial start
prints out similar messages to those on bootup, but after that my
serial ports worked.
Hope this helps
