Has anyone ever got a serial console working in fedora 14 ?

Is it as simple as adding to grub:

serial --unit=0 --speed=38400

terminal --timeout=10 serial console

and add to the kernel lines: console=tty0 console=ttyS0,38400

??? If so, this isn't working for me. I have agetty installed, and im using minicom, although i've heard you can also use "screen /dev/ttyUSB0" on the client side. The /etc/init/serial.conf file suggests it should be working, but nothing.

Currently getting no joy from any of this after 2 days. Does anyone know a method that definitely works on fedora 14 ? (no /etc/event.d/ needed or such)

edit: Client side im using a null modem cable and usb-serial adaptor.
