However, from your lsmod output, I'm not seing a *serial driver* module loaded (the piece that does the hardware-level communication with the physical serial port - the ppp_* modules handle the networking aspect of a dial-up modem, but they rely on actually having a serial port to talk to). Did you compile serial port support into your kernel (as a built-in or a module)? What is the output of modprobe -l (ell, not eye)?
To check for serial port support in your kernel, do: cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig go to Device Drivers -> Character Devices -> Serial Drivers Then make sure that "8250/16550 and compatible serial support" has either a * or an M If it doesn't, then go ahead and add it in, recompile, reboot, and see if your problem is fixed. If it is enabled, and it is a module, there should be a module with a name something along the lines of serial8250 - try modprobe'ing it, then check for /dev/ttyS0. What is the output of ls -al /dev/tts? In your dmesg, do you see anything like: serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A ?
