Actually the getty process will detect the data on the serial port and
act accordingly. Perhaps when you do 'kill -1 1' some error messages
are logged in /var/log/{messages,console}? Is any other getty process
running? Maybe there is some syntax error in /etc/ttys? I have never
experienced such behavior so I am rather guessing at this moment.
