There's a good chance you already have these somewhere, but when I
moved the old /dev filesystem over, I had little to no idea what I was
doing (I'm used to having good old uDev there to work magic for me).
Anyway, hopefully this is all the info you need:

These are the two serial ports on the EDB9302. There are actually
three, but the third one isn't actually connected to a jack, and thus
can't be used.

Anyway, my /etc/securetty looks like this:
[arew264 at CaitSith etc]$ cat securetty
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
ttyS0
ttyS1
ttyS2
ttyS3
ttyAMA0
ttyAMA1
ttyAMA2
ttyAMA3
ttyUL0
ttyUL1
ttyUL2
ttyUL3
ttyPSC0
ttyPSC1
ttyPSC2
ttyPSC3
ttyAM0
ttyAM1

[arew264 at CaitSith etc]$

The issue is still there.

Thanks for the help so far,
