Another thing to check - if the kernel actually detected those ports...
having dev nodes laying around but not attached to anything is not out
of the question.

# dmesg | grep tty

That should do the trick for detection... whether or not the uart is
properly supported can be checked by examining the output of:

# cat /proc/tty/driver/serial
