Which hardware (board/processor) are you working with?

- Did you configure a virtual terminal (CONFIG_VT)?
- Did you configure a console on a virtual terminal (CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE)?
- Did you configure the serial UART driver support for your hardware 
  (e.g. for SA1100: CONFIG_SERIAL_SA1100)?
- Did you configure console support for the serial UART driver 
  (e.g. for SA1100: CONFIG_SERIAL_SA1100_CONSOLE)?

- Did you create the device files in the /dev directory 
  (described e.g. for the SA1100 in Documentation/arm/SA1100/serial_UART)?

Regards,
Thilo
