I remember you had to configure /etc/inittab with
a respawn on your serial ports.

On Solaris one of the problems was modem settings on serial lines.
Since Linux boxes tend to have their console on KVM I have not needed to
do much serial line debugging on Linux boxes. Typically a crash cart
with a laptop running Hyperterm is available and it works when it is
plugged in.

Tim Watts already posted the starting point to debug modem settings,
parity and baud rates on serial lines:

stty -a < /dev/ttyS0
should give you the current serial config.
