I hereby do complain that it doesn't work. ;) I'd give more details, but I'm neither at work nor did I investigate the situation properly. What I remember trying is to add 'console=/dev/ttyS0' or somesuch to the commandline, but couldn't get it to work there. The funny thing is that when I use the GDB support over serial line (which seems to use a primitive, stripped-down version of a serial driver) it works, I can then redirect boot messages via 'console=gdb'.
