The driver itself has to provide support for serial console. If the USB serial driver doesn't (I don't know) it won't work. Check the config options for USB serial, if it doesn't offer an option for console on USB serial port then you're out of luck. Unless the USB serial driver in some strange way hooks into the standard serial driver, but then someone more knowledgeable should answer that question. -- Andreas E.
