Please log in and type this command:
echo $BRLTTY
it prints nothing.
2) ISOLINUX doesn't print anything to the serial port by default, so
there is no clue thet brltty is available.
Yes, it does, and it always has since I first created the CD, IIRC.
No, it doesn't. Check yourself:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ qemu -cdrom /mnt/lfs/lfs-livecd/lfslivecd-x86-6.2-pre4.iso
-serial stdio
(isolinux shows its screen, but qemu prints nothing on stdout)
Then let the CD boot, and type this command:
echo foo >/dev/ttyS0
qemu happily prints "foo". So isolinux doesn't work with the serial port.

Yes, I see this. It is indeed configured, but this doesn't remove the strange
experimental fact described above.
3) The serial port is configured out on ppc (it caused hangs earlier,
did this get fixed?), so brltty is currently useless there.
Haven't noticed this. Will make a note to look at it. We disabled the
serial port due to other troubles, correct?
AFAIK we disabled the builtin serial port it due to hangs. It is a module, and I
don't know whether udev loads it.
