Hi,

second shot. :-)

Hmm. You'll get the syslinux messages on the vga with this. See my other posting about this. The kernel
messages should go to the serial console, though. At least
...linux-2.4.x/Documentation/serial-console.txt tells this.
Are you sure you have serial console support in the kernel? 
Did you try to give this command line on the syslinux boot:-Prompt
(with 'prompt 1' in the configuration file ...)?

BTW, if you're using an initrd the kernel automagically starts
'/linuxrc', so there should be no need to set 'init=/linuxrc'.

And as long as the kernel console is involved this has nothing to
do with syslinux itself.

Regards,

Josef
