I can share our serial tool for debugging early boot. It is actually written
for IA64 by Chuck Sluder at Unisys, and we used it even for EFI driver
debug. It saved us a lot of grief.
You can modify it for IA32. It just outputs debug messages to the serial
port directly, so you will need a serial console:

This insertion is into kernel/prink.c:
---------------------------------------------
extern void writebuf(int, const char *);

void
early_printk (const char *str)
{
	char c;
	int  i, k, j;

#ifdef CONFIG_ITANIUM_ES7000
// this is out writing to serial port routine:
	writebuf(0, str);
#endif
	while ((c = *str++) != '\0') {




==cut here io.c =======================



#include <string.h>

extern unsigned long ia64_iobase;
extern void outb_asm();
extern unsigned char inb_asm();

unsigned short
serial_port_addr[4] = {
    0x3f8,
    0x2f8,
    0x3e8,
    0x2e8
};

void
outb(unsigned short port, unsigned char data)
{
	unsigned char *addr;
	
	addr = (unsigned char *)(ia64_iobase | ((port & 0xfffc) << 10) |
(port & 0x0fff));
	outb_asm(addr, data);
	
	return;
}

unsigned char
inb(unsigned short port)
{
	unsigned char *addr, data;

	addr = (unsigned char *)(ia64_iobase | ((port & 0xfffc) << 10) |
(port & 0x0fff));

	data = inb_asm(addr);
	
	return(data);
}


#define SERIAL_REGISTER_LSR 5    /*  R/W  Line Status Register */

void
mputc(unsigned char port, unsigned char data)
{
	unsigned char status, i=0;
	unsigned short portaddr;

	portaddr = serial_port_addr[port];

	do {
		status = inb((serial_port_addr[port] +
SERIAL_REGISTER_LSR));
		i++;
		if (i == 10000){
			return;
		}
	} while ((status & 0x20) == 0);

	outb(portaddr, data);	
	
	return;
}

int
writebuf(unsigned char port, char *buf)
{
	int i;
	size_t cnt;
	unsigned char data;

	
	cnt = strlen(buf);

	for (i=0; i<cnt; i++) {
		data = buf[i];
		if (data == '\n') {
			mputc(port, 0x0d);
			mputc(port, 0x0a);
		} else {
			mputc(port, data);
