   I think that my problem has nothing to do with mingetty
   and "/etc/inittab" because this problem seems to appear
   right after kernel has started by aboot. And I think
   also that there is nothing wrong with serial port/cable (etc.)
   because serial line works perfectly with SRM.

   I haven't yet verified if there is some difference between
   2.2.17 (which I previously used) and 2.4.8

   btw. "ttyS1" works perfectly on runlevels 2 to 5 with
   this line in "/etc/inittab":

      1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -r -s 38400 /dev/ttyS1  DT38400
