No, look at serial-console.txt in the kernel Documentation, the above syntax is correct for the kernel. Rudy, you'll need to tell grub to support serial; I prefer lilo and one has to tell lilo specifically to support serial as well as add the kernel parameters. You'll have to figure out what to tell grub. Also, double check your kernel parameters are being read correctly by checking /proc/cmdline.
