Is that a type in copying the log lines or is that indeed in
/var/log/messages? If the latter then that might be the cause of the
problem, it should read .../modules/...

Otherwise, what I did on my wife's TP was to exclude the port range for the
SECOND serial port 0x3.. in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. If that doesn't help,
you might try and recompile with serial support being a loadable module (her
printer port would, for example, refuse to work unless parallel port
support was include as a module instead of at compile time).

Perhaps that helps.
