It would seem that the name of the modules has changed since that was
written. This is what I find in the current release:

> find /lib/modules/2.4.23-1.ll.rh90.ccrmasmp/ -name snd-\*serial\*
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1.ll.rh90.ccrmasmp/kernel/sound/snd-serial-u16550.o
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1.ll.rh90.ccrmasmp/kernel/sound/snd-serialmidi.o
