Many, many thanks.

 Hi,

 I'm migrating my router to Gentoo. Therefore I have to boot
 the old system from time to time. This I'm doing through a
 serial connection.

 Grub und the getty communicate to Minicom without complaint.
 However, the kernel messages while booting get lost.

 The Grub configuration is:

 serial --unit=1 --speed=9600
 ...
 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-myone root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=791 console=tty0
 console=ttyS1

 The old kernel on the old system reports as expected with
 the same parameters.

 Suppose I forgot something to compile into the kernel.

 Any hints?

 Thanks in advance,

 Bertram

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
