1) always test your serial setup with "tip" on both sides before trying 
to get the console to work.

2) if the target system has no serial ports enabled, no drivers will 
attach to them.  Check the BIOS setup on the target system (since I 
assume you have plugged the cable in, so there must be serial port 
hardware there).
