Serial Console + VGA Console

Hi,

Trying to get vga console and a serial console to both work.
I can get either one to fully work but not both.
When using serial, I do still get a login prompt on the vga,
But not all the boot up output. Seems like half to the vga 
 and the rest to the serial port

I added lines to /etc/inittab
# console port
T0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L ttyS0 115200

And added to /etc/lilo.conf
append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"

I tried to add to "serial=0,115200n8" lilo.conf, but this gives error
  unsoported baud rate, commenting the line out seems to work.

Any ideas on how to get both VGA and serial console to fully work?
Maybe, I can have one but not the other?
