I don't know what's wrong (not running 2.0 yet) but I do know a quick fix - in the kernel source, sio.c (if it is still sio.c) there is a small routine that probes for the port - simply return success from that sio_probe routine all the time (eg: #ifdef INT_MDM_KLUDGE return success) and make sure you get the addresses right for com ports! Works for me anyway...
