Looks like you forgot to define the IRQ and port for the serial driver.  
If you're using the configure script, make sure you include options like:

--with-port=0x3f8 --with-irq=4

If you're using setup.sh, you've probably selected something 
incorrectly.  (I don't care for/didn't use setup.sh, so I can't give you 
any specific info.)

I used:

./configure --prefix=/opt --with-x --with-syslog \
            --with-driver=serial --with-transmitter \
            --with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux-`uname -r` \
            --with-port=0x3f8 --with-irq=4 2>&1 | tee cflog

to configure my driver.
