Can you see it in the logs for the kernel boot command? I would try 9600 instead of 115200, as per the Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO. I haven't looked at it lately, is it now also suggest 115200? Perhaps you haven't compiled the kernel properly for a serial console? I do believe you should verify what you were doing in a step by step manner with the Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO. You probably forgot something which no one have noticed because every one assume it it obvious for someone to skip it. -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
