Or at least you should something like this at the output of $ grep CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE /where-your-kernel-sources-are/.config CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y $ But be aware of: "If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as system console." This is from HELP command in menuconfig... I'll hope this will help...
