After having spent a lot of time trying to figure out the cause
of the problem, it turns out that it is likely a BIOS setup problem.
At boot time, the serial driver (version 4.27) just declares that no
options are enabled but does not print anything else. At work, on
a Dell OptiPlex, the driver detects as expected 2 ports ttyS01
and ttyS00. At home, these ports remain invisible.
Someone told me that it has something to do with the BIOS.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything related to the serial ports
in the BIOS menus.
The BIOS config information is usually on a menu labelled "peripherals";
sometimes it's on a secondary menu accessed off the advanced
configuration page. There wasn't anything labelled "COM1" or "COM2"
there?
