One more data point: I used a Fedora 16 live CD both natively and in the
VM, in order to get as similar an environment as possible. I followed
exactly the same sequence of steps in both cases. It did not work
natively but did work with the VM. This should eliminate something
having gone wrong with my Fedora installation or configuration.

About the only thing different in the VM is the address and IRQ (it
shows up as /dev/ttyS0 in the VM, and it's /dev/ttyS5 when running
natively - the serial card is /dev/ttyS4 through /dev/ttyS7).

Since the VM just redirects the virtual serial port to the real serial
port on the host OS (/dev/ttyS5) I would expect it to not work in the VM
if it was a host OS driver problem or similar. However, I'm no expert
and I could be wrong.

Unless someone else has suggestions on other things to try, or on how to
debug this, I'm not sure what to do next (other than test with the
motherboard's serial port when my cable shows up).
