For a serial console use:
append="console=ttyS0,9600n8" in silo.conf or on the kernel command line.
There is also a kernel parameter which can be changed at kernel compile
time (davem already urged debian kernel maintainers to change it):
# Console display driver support
# CONFIG_PROM_CONSOLE is not set
With that I get a clear console output on the serial port without
any garbage.
Hope this helps,
greetings
