Hi Dave,

Its the second step , getting the plan console (prompt) over the serial.
Screen command is also not working neither the picocom.  Screen command flashes 
an error, something like, ioctl() command failed.

Some more info:
 If after connecting with the minicom, I restarted the other machine (on which 
serial console is connected), I do see the logout and boot messages on my 
minicom screen but output is not formatted properly. It looks like this:

  [    0.332483] pci 0000:00:1d.7: PME# supported from D0 D3hot D3cold

[    0.336007] pci 0000:00:1d.7: PME# disabled

                                                                                
                                               [    0.340057] * The chipset may

please use "acpi_

In some cases, these messages stop coming after some time and in other case, I 
got the login prompt, but then it is not taking any input from my machine's 
keyboard for that minicom session. Moreover, the behavior is not consistent. 

Also, note that if I give a command like:  
echo "testing" > /dev/ttyS0 
to the machine on which serial console is connected, I can see the output 
"testing" in other machine's minicom session (but again data is not properly 
formatted)

Please let me know if you need any other information from my side
regarding the same.
