Hmm. Checking back I see that the usb-serial kmod package had a very
ephemeral existence and was deprecated in favour of the option kmod
package.

Perhaps you would like to take a look at the
option-kmod-0.7.1-3.el5.elrepo.src.rpm package that is available from
the http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/SRPMS/ directory? See how you
get on -- we may be able to give advice if you hit a problem.

Sorry that I am unable to assist further atm.
