If you're using the floppy version of Dachstein (the small kernel tree), it doesn't have built-in support for serial ports to save space. You'll need to download and install the serial.o module: http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/files/kernels/2.2.19-3-small/modules/misc/serial .o The CD version (and the normal and RAID kernel trees) has support for serial-ports built-in to the kernel, so you can see the kernel boot messages on a remote serial console.
