It works flawlessly under QEMU. The Grub menu also shows up on the serial
console of the real machine, but once bootstrap is started, only the screen
works.

In case it might shed some light, I have this on the "/etc/default/grub" file of
the real machine (Grub from Debian testing):

    GRUB_TERMINAL=console
    GRUB_SERIAL_COMMAND="serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1"


Thanks,
