serial console on Sun Fire X2250 (Intel XEON)

[bjlockie]

I installed CentOS on a Sun Fire X2250 (Intel XEON) machine and I'm having a lot trouble getting the serial console to work.
My /etc/inittab contains:

# serial console
con:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttys0 9600 vt100
My inittab is wrong.
It works if I manually run /sbin/agetty ttys0 9600 vt100

I fixed grub and it outputs this:

Serial Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-8.el5)'

root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0xfd
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-8.el5 ro root=/dev/md1 console=tty0 console=ttys0,9600n8
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1ad034]
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-8.el5.img
[Linux-initrd @ 0x37e7a000, 0x175ce7 bytes]

(r)(r)


I get 'INIT: Id "con" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes' on the console.
agetty is crashing?

I tried adding the call to agetty in /etc/rc.local but it didn't work.
