This is a link that requires attention.
Over here it is:

# ls -l /dev/*ps*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-07-29 20:07 /dev/gps0 -> /dev/ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-07-29 20:07 /dev/pps0 -> /dev/ttyS0


So in /dev is link called gps0 pointing to /dev/ttyS0 (and *not* just
ttyS0.) Same for pps0.
If you check your links you can fix this easily.
