Saying a serial console is not kernel dependent is inaccurate and
misleading. The part that displays the kernel boot messages is
absolutely kernel dependent. I think you mean that you can get messages
even earlier by, as a seperate step, configuring a serial console in
the boot loader, right? And that is a good point. Although, you can also
configure those messages to go to a serial synth and hear them as well.
I don't know if that works with all serial synths but I know it works
with a doubletalk LT and a tripletalk.

I clearly recall stating that the serial console is *not* kernel

my computer's serial console, which are printed to the output device
long before the kernel starts. If my kernel fails to start for any
reason, I know it, and I am much more likely to be able to figure out
why, because I have serial output long before there is a loaded kernel.
