Cyclades cards have their own driver and tty numbers and these are created by
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV cyclades
On my system they are ttyC* (and on older kernels cub*) - AFAIK cyclades
cards have NEVER been numbered ttyS4... I am therefore wondering whether
you actually have a 'standard' dumb 4 port card. Cyclades cards have a
different major number (19 and 20) to 'normal' serial ports (4 and 5), you
may also have to actually create the devices for them as well (use MAKEDEV).
If you look in the 2.2.x config, there is a section on sharing interrupts and
support for more than 4 serial ports. I suspect you need to set these options
(and maybe one or two others around that area) and you will probably find
that your card now magically works.

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find
at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.
