Odd. I didn't test with console=tty0 in addition to console=ttyS0. Did
you use the bochs VBE stuff? That works here. Except that both vga cards
manage to kill my xorg xserver, so I'm not really into running with a
vga card.

Yeah, I was testing the kernel so I did it all by myself, including root
(just some busybox stuff) and kernel config.
