If you're using the default Dachstein floppy kernel, the serial port driver is not compiled in by default. You can either add serial.o to your modules, or upgrade to the (larger) Dachstein-normal kernel, which has serial support built-in (and several other "goodies", like advanced routing support). Note that you MUST use the Dachstein-normal kernel if you want boot-time kernel messages to appear on the serial console...with the run-time module, you only get serial support once the system is booted, so you can't use a serial port as a kernel console.
