I have a USB - serial adapter I keep in my desk, and my Linux box has a
4 port serial card installed ( can never have too many serial ports when
you like playing with old computer ).
Try re-seating all your cards. Sometimes things come loose while your
fighting with something else inside the system. Failing that, I think
you'll need a serial connection to troubleshoot any farther.
