Carsten, In your grub.conf, do you have "console=ttyS1,19200n8" or similar on the kernel parameters line? Also check the kernel parameters to make sure that "rhgb" or similar has been removed so that it isn't trying to send graphics to the serial console.

So give that line in inittab a try. Yes, that's there (not necessarily during our installation but yes), what I see is: kernel starting up, then nothing and after 30-60 seconds I see the login prompt. What I'm missing is the start-up of the daemons and other init scripts.
