usually the S in tty names is capitalized in my experience.  I wonder
about IRQs, and about drivers being existant in the kernels.  I wonder
about the attached device - if any.  I also wonder about modules,
whether or not all necessary have been loaded.  

I get the same message catting my serial ports, but to be fair they
aren't plugged in to anything.
