The system has been running fine for several years with exactly the same hardware setup and I do not recall any changes to anything except the usual RedHat and Xastir patches/upgrades.  I took the KPC 9612+ out of and back into KISS mode and it seems to be receiving ok.  As best I can tell, the COM 1 port is working ok.  The Xastir program runs fine but it can't open ttyS0 and gives the Hard Fail error.

Sounds like a permissions issue? Make sure the user running xastir has r/w 
access to the serial devices.
