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)
