please let us have the output of:

uname -a
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/ioports

If you look at the outputs you will see that ttyS1 is detected (ttyS1
at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A) and there is also reference to
ttyS0 (ttyS0 at I/O 0x1428 (irq = 10) is a 8250). Then serial_cs seems
to bomb out on using irq 3 (final entry)

Are there two built in serial ports on the laptop?

Is it a problem in ubuntu for there to be two serial ports on irq3?

What? Not sure at all what you are on about.

serial_cs is loaded according to lsmod. But seems to have barfed on
irq3. What happens in similar circumstances in ubuntu? (also what
kernel are you running in ubuntu, again uname -a)
