We just ran into the OP's problem where I work: Ununtu kernel updated
and all serial ports stopped working (it isn't just an FTDI problem). 

Booting with the previous kernel makes the serial ports work again.

What I'm trying to figure out: is this something _Ubuntu_ did so that
only affects Ubuntu kernels?  [I haven't seen it mentioned on the
linux-serial mailing list, and nobody other than Ubuntu users seem to
have the problem, so I think the answer to my question is "yes".]
