that is too easy :-), without those lines NOTHING comes out via  the =
serial-over-lan

the thing is that:
	BIOS messages OK
	boot and menu messages OK=20
	kernel messages OK
	rc stuff : nothing!!!
then the Login: appears.

setting console=3D=E2=80=98comconsole=E2=80=9D  there IS video output!! =
except no boot menu
but serial is all ok, go figure
