as I saw in email conversation it was eventually working, you just need to correctly configure and use the serial console
which mail conversions? this is a different issue, the problem in serial console is not connected to this bug
After some digging into this issue in the Shira's environment I found that the problem was in a grub configuration which needs to be set to console mode. This deserves some documentation - turning into documentation bug.
Please move it to a github issue on the feature page.
