If you use the "console=ttyS0,115200" do you see some output on your target's
serial interface?
Is VGA support enabled in your kernel config?

We should continue on the oselas.community mailing list instead, because your
issue is not PTXdist related (or at least it seems so).

If I use "console = ttyS0,115200" I don't see any output on my target's serial interface (I've used minicom to check)

VGA support is enabled in my kernel config.

What do you suggest to do?

Thank you.
