Here is how you please both camps. Add this to the kernel

console=ttyS0 console=tty0
Note that the ordering is important for some reason and serial needs
to be first. That works on real installs to send output to serial and
a tty. I was surprised to see cobbler doesn't do this by default
actually. Count this as another +1.
Indeed, order matters should we go the route of multiple consoles.

"When multiple consoles are listed output is sent to all consoles and
input is taken from the last listed console. The last console is the one
Linux uses as the /dev/console device."
However, I'd recommend we mimic the existing behavior used for xen, and
only provide a single console= key/value pair.
Thanks,
