Don't know if this is "proper," but it works.

So, you need a line like:
install lirc_serial  /sbin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none; 
/sbin/modprobe --ignore-install lirc_serial

(Note, you might have to adjust the path to setserial.)

IMHO, a more "proper" way to fix it is probably to recompile your kernel 
without the serial driver built in.  You could compile it as a module 
(in which case you'll have to run "modprobe -r" to remove the module 
instead of "setserial") or, better yet, don't compile the serial driver 
since you're not using it.

HTH.
