Oh, that changes things. Ludo is debugging some silly UTF-8 problem
with the virtual terminals on the VGA port right now - might be related,
or not. Who knows...

Is there still a cursor?
What happens when you don't use the serial (so no console=...) and then
try to write something to /dev/console ? It should show up somewhere.
Where? On the VGA port?
Let's try to find where in the chain it goes off the rails.
If writing to /dev/console manually works, try
ps -ef | grep mingetty
Are they running?
Also,
ls -l /dev/tty[123456] /dev/tty

Yeah, okay. So the actual tty-login-in works... *phiew*.

Looks good - login also works fine on the serial, so all is well there... :)
Now let's see what the problem with the VGA is...
