Thanks for your answers.
ttyS0 is not available as well.
Once the system is booted, only ssh is available.
(I don't have any problem at boot level, or even at BIOS level(it's an
HP DL320 g5s)
I can select kernel via graphical-console or serial-console, according
to how I set /etc/default/grub, by the way.
Right now I've defaulted everything, so I can only select kernel via
graphical-console at boot level).

Here is the result of strace:

select(11, [10], NULL, NULL, {4, 999684}init q

My goal is to boot with sysvinit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
root@tamerrp:/home/mettler# less /sbin/init
[...]
INIT_VERSION=sysvinit-2.88
[...]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Ill try the init re-install path, installing another init 
before.
I started making a script calling getty from /etc/rc0.d or 
/etc/rc.local,
but, I finally think it's wiser to have sysvinit doing what it is 
expected to do.


Thanks again.
