An idea, indeed: Chown'ing and chmod'ing won't help as it's not
ownership or permissions what's wrong here. I think what George meant is
that you'd have to set the correct major and minor numbers (here 62 and
78) of that character special file. So, after removing /dev/ttyS14 again
;-) you should issue

   mknod /dev/ttyS14 c 62 78

and it's likely to work then.

HTH,
