Bug 216403

Description of problem:
Installation over serial console presents garbled screens
when text mode is used. cmdline is a bit better (from a point
where it is effective). Adding "serial" parameter does not help.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
I start kickstart install over a network with the following
parameters in grub.conf:
kernel /tftpboot/tkepczyn/pxelinux/FC6.i386/vmlinuz console=ttyS0,9600n8 serial
ip=dhcp ksdevice=link
ks=nfs:gklab-59-001.igk.intel.com:/srv/nfs/install/linux/Fedora/6/ks/blade-i386.cfg
initrd /tftpboot/tkepczyn/pxelinux/FC6.i386/initrd.img
Kickstart file contains:
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
(I guess only these options are of interest here).
Minicom is started on remote host where locale is set to en_US.UTF-8.
Local host where remote session to host with minicom is started has locale
pl_PL.UTF-8. SSH is used for remote session.
I file this on anaconda but minicom may be causing this problem here
as well.

Actual results:
Garbled screem (see attachments)

Expected results:
Clean screen with no garbage
