Linux kernel 2.6.8 on ia64.

CONFIG_EFI_PCDP:

If your firmware supplies the PCDP table, and you want to
automatically use the primary console device it describes
as the Linux console, say Y here.

If your firmware supplies the HCDP table, and you want to
use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
you must specify the "console=ttyS0" kernel boot argument.

You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
