Without serial support complied into the kernel, this is all you will get. To see kernel boot messages, you need to have serial support compiled into the kernel (ie not a module), and you also need to pass the kernel a console= parameter, telling it to send messages to the serial port. NOTE: You can have more than one console= setting, for multiple consoles. Kernel messages will go to all consoles, but standard I/O (like the output from the linuxrc init script) will only go to the "primary" console, which is the last console= device listed on the kernel command line.
