Can you see it in the logs for the kernel boot command?
I would try 9600 instead of 115200, as per the
Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO. I haven't looked at it lately, is it now
also suggest 115200?
Perhaps you haven't compiled the kernel properly for a serial console?
I do believe you should verify what you were doing in a step by step
manner with the Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO. You probably forgot
something which no one have noticed because every one assume it it
obvious for someone to skip it.
