Ok that does not really tell us anything more.  So, debug time.  Could
you test the kernel below, you can run it in the 13.10 userspace no
problem.  Could you boot this kernel and get a dmesg output from it
(which should contain additional info on why it fails).  Kernels are at
the URL below:

    http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp1313981-trusty/

Please report any testing here.

Title:
  Kernel disabling serial port ttyS0 on boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On boot in 13.10 kern.log would state:

   Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
   00:0a: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

  and my serial modem would work just fine.

  After upgrading to 14.04 the kernel log contains:

   Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
   serial 00:0a: disabled

  [[ Note that with the 3.13.0-24 kernel as reported in the bug below we see this:
  [    3.191190] Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 32 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
  [    3.191342] serial 00:0a: disabled
  ]]

  How do I enable 00:0a?  Do I need to recompile the kernel with a different config?
