Same here. You appear to have non-standard /dev/ttyS2, so have I. I think the serial driver is having some Problem with my /dev/ttyS2 which is a 16650V2 Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 5 and which works nicely under .106. Booting .109, I found my other two serial ports (standard as included on the MoBo) work nicely for Mouse and digital still camera, but the Modem wouldn't get initialized. vgetty complains:
07/18 03:16:41 yS2 mdm_read_byte: read returned -1: Interrupted system call 07/18 03:16:41 yS2 mdm_get_line: cannot read byte, return: Protocol wrong type
Starting Seyon, I found the modem gets what I type, but I cannot see the answers from the Modem. I figured, theren might be a problem with FIFO handling and setserial'ed it as UART 16450. This made the Modem work for a short period of time but later it failed again. No messages from the kernel.
Please mail me directly, if I can give further information. (I'm only lurking this list as time permits)
