I have no A70 display, so there was never a chance to test it. The BSP itself 
comes with support for the NEC NL4827HC19-01B and AT070TN83/AT070TN92 based 
display units.

There was a short time where a broken patch changed the default '/dev/ttySAC0' 
to the strange value of '/dev/ttys3c2410_serial0'. From my notes it was 
solved in mainline with the kernel 2.6.38.

Take a look into the corresponding serial driver, what device node name it 
uses.

Another idea is to use an older udev version for your older kernel. Maybe a 
newer udev fails to create the device node with your old kernel and perhaps 
it is the cause of the message you see.

Regards,
Juergen
