Hi,
In short, it comes down to this: starting with stable kernel 2.2.0, the cuaX
(X any number) devices have become obsolete. You should somehow switch to
using the corresponding ttySX devices instead. As your output suggests, you
have to upgrade setserial. Since cuaX is a character device with major number
five, the alias char-major-5 in /etc/conf.modules should probably be set to
off.
For more accurate information, read the documentation that comes with the
2.2.5 kernel, especially the Changes and devices.txt documents, in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/
Good luck,
Tim.
