I read this How-To years ago (this site is an awesome resource BTW).
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/

The three things that need to be configured are:
1. BIOS (if you are lucky enough)
2. GRUB
3. kernel (through parameters from GRUB)

For a quick and dirty answer:

add (or modify) the following lines to /etc/grub.conf

serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial console

and modify the "kernel" line in /etc/grub.conf adding

console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8


That will enable both GRUB and TTY access through ttyS0 (COM1 in
win-speak) using 9600bps and 8n1. You can change those values, you just
need to modify your serial terminal to match.

how to setup the linux to send to console server
 

Hi timothy

Thank you so much

I follow the link

and put co:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty ttyS0 9600 vt100
in inittab

in /var/log/message, there is
init: Id "co" respawning too fast: disabled for 5
minutes

and /var/log/secure, there is

agetty[2033]: ttyS0: ioctl: Input/output error

do you have idea?

Thank you so much
