It may depend a lot on the port. If it boots in PCI D3 (power saved) then
it's going to be fun. Otherwise forcing the address of the port ought to
do the trick.

See	
	console=uart8250,io 0xb060,115200n8

although it's polled so you may want to drop the speed a bit!

netconsole might also be useful to debug the early serial problems !

No idea for syslinux.
