FYI, if you do succeed in getting kprintf output directed to a serial port (cf. mail from Markus and Felix in this thread), be aware that using it will noticeably degrade the performance of your system (the last I looked, kprintf() uses polling to output to its device, and for serial, that means "forever" with interrupts disabled).
The last time I used kprintf to serial posts (when I was young, and there was Rhapsody in the air), it degraded the performance of the ethernet driver/network stack by about 90% (I was debugging the stack).

thanks for the info, Justin!
