I am assuming you already tried /dev/ttyS2, and /dev/ttyS4, and they didn't work. If you already didn't look through your boot messages, do dmesg |more and that will bring up your boot messages. To scroll through them, just use the spacebar. If you'd like, feel free to do dmesg >dmesg.txt , and send me the resulting dmesg.txt privately. It may be that you will need some extra serial options configured into your kernel, but I wouldn't know if you already have them configured or not without looking at your dmesg output.
