Hello Eric, For me the serial console works on Bering, without compiling a kernel. I am using the 2.4.18 kernel and the matching serial.o from Jaques site.
My syslinux.cfg starts with the folowing lines: serial 0 19200 0 display syslinux.dpy #(displays nicely on my serial console) serial.o is stored in /boot/lib/modules (like my IDE modules) and is loaded from /boot/etc/modules (don't forget to backup root.lrp) I also had the problem with getty respawning, in my case because COM1 was disabled in the computers BIOS.
