[syslinux] no kbd via serial

I had an isolinux config that was working with Kontron CG2100s for
serial console with console redirection enabled in the BIOS (and
attaching via SOL through an Intel RMM3 module) - for some reason I had
to set serial port 1 instead of 0 in the config (even though the
physical port is 0, and the RMM is supposed to just be redirecting the
physical port), but it worked.
A tester on a different box (same model and configuration) that didn't
have console redirection enabled complained that they couldn't see the
boot menu; I tried changing the serial port back to 0 in the isolinux
config, and now the menu is visible, but it doesn't respond to keyboard
input (again, over SOL; I haven't tried physical serial). This turns
out to be true (menu visible, no response to kbd) whether serial
redirection is enabled or not.
Has anyone encountered anything similar, and/or have any tips for what
else to try?
Thanks.
