I don't recall what the defaults are, maybe it would help if you changed the parameter for your kernel to console=ttyS1,115200n8r or whatever suits your config. As for the kernel, everything you need should be in Device Drivers -> Character devices -> Serial drivers My config: <*> 8250/16550 and compatible serial support [*] Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port [ ] 8250/16550 device discovery via ACPI namespace (4) Maximum number of non-legacy 8250/16550 serial ports [*] Extended 8250/16550 serial driver options [*] Support more than 4 legacy serial ports [*] Support for sharing serial interrupts [ ] Autodetect IRQ on standard ports (unsafe) [*] Support special multiport boards [*] Support RSA serial ports -- Jure Varlec
