Serial Console problems

Anybody out ther with experience in 2.1.x serial console ?

I managed to switch LILO and the kernel image to /dev/ttyS0.
The machine boots up fine and i can see all messages on my
9600 baud VT-220 terminal.

The probelms come up when 'init' takes over the boot process
The terminal spits a lot of junk, nothing more readable, i
suppose the baud rate is switched. Even worse, the machine
seems to hang after a while during execution of the various
rc3.d statutup files.

BTW: I'm running kernel 2.1.122 with kerneld from net-tools 1.46
and a compiled-in dumb serial line driver. The serial line
itself is a standard PC type including fifo.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks, Andreas
