 Not sure what "console=com" will do, but according to the man page
 it should be console=com0 - and it will use the hardware addresses that
 the BIOS tells it, so maybe some bios settings are breaking things.
 
 If the bios only does serial, it may be worth to try console=pc instead
 and rely on the bios redirection.
