Well, I think that's only necessary when you have enabled support for
console on both a VT and a serial interface. In that case, I remember
the serial interface takes higher priority than normal VT.
So, if you compile with CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y and
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y, then you'll need to append
console=tty0
to your kernel cmdline in order to get dmesg messages onto the screen
instead of the serial interface.
You can also tell the kernel to display messages on various devices
simultaneously:
console=ttyS1,9600 console=tty0
will make kernel messages to be sent to both ttyS1 and tty0, so you can
see them either via a serial connection, or on the screen.
Well, I've never tried this setup (I'm running 2.5 on my laptop which
does not have serial interfaces) and all this information has been
extracted from the Documentation/ directory of 2.5, so maybe it doesn't
work either :-)
Good luck!
