Any chance you can try at a slower speed? You shouldn't need 115200 for
a console -- I look after a couple of RS/6000s with serial consoles at
19200, and screen refresh isn't bad.

Any chance that you can try without the X and sound drivers? Apart from
anything else, you will need to do that to report the problem anywhere.

Hope this helps,

James.
