No, you're still not understanding.  Debian Wheezy has the 3.2 kernel, so
no serial support.  That's why I suggested installing Squeeze and
upgrading to Wheezy.  That way you can run the 2.6.32 kernel with newer
packages and still have serial support.  No, you won't get most boot
messages with software speech because it takes a while for sound drivers
to load.  I have both kernels installed here so I can get hardware speech
if my system becomes unbootable.  I had no problem finding a motherboard
with a serial port last August.  You have to look for server motherboards,
but they're not that hard to find.
