Hi,

Thank you all for your emails.

Yes, this was the problem. As son as I disable the
flow control, the console keyboard start working.

I also found how to enable the isolinux flow control
using the Remote-Serial-HOWTO. 

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO.html#CONFIGURE-BOOT-LOADER-SYSLINUX

So I intend to replace in isolinux.cfg the line

serial 0 9600

with 

serial 0 9600 0xab3

Do you have any clue why in the syslinux docu there is
no word about the "serial" flow control option?

Best regards,
Floriola
