did you read Documentation/serial-console.txt ? this is what I've got: test machine with serial console:
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (the null modem cable is connected to com2) stty speed 115200 </dev/ttyS1
in /etc/lilo.conf image=/boot/34 label=latest append="console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0" read-only root=/dev/sda2
the kernel should have been compiled with serial console support. (you can probably omit the console=tty0, I have it because I've got a monitor attached as well. I just want to capture oopsen which don't get to syslog)
also make sure gpm and kudzu don't start up. rm /etc/ioctl.save once you've done all this, run lilo and reboot.
on the other machine, in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (cable attached to com2) stty speed 115200 </dev/ttyS1 (or run it manually)
then cat /dev/ttyS1 >>testmachineconsole & and tail -f testmachineconsole
should do the trick.
it's a good idea to first check if the serial line is ok by echo foobar >/dev/ttyS1 on one side and cat /dev/ttyS1 on the other side. there's also a procedure for getting lilo to use a serial line. look at /usr/doc/lilo*/README. I think it only supports upto 38.4 kbps though.
