So what IS the default then? Until today, I thought you don't necessarily
need a console= argument at all. See Documentation/serial-console.txt:

    If no console device is specified, the first device found capable of
    acting as a system console will be used. At this time, the system first
    looks for a VGA card and then for a serial port. So if you don't have a
    VGA card in your system the first serial port will automatically become
    the console.

Are you saying that you should always pass console=...?

Marius
