that's interesting.. but seems like kernel correctly detects ttyS0 and
spits it's messages to it

....
console [tty0] enabled
console [ttyS0] enabled
....
Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 2 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a NS16550A
....

but after init starts it doesn't work anymore :(
devise is present:
ls -la /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       4,  64 Oct  9 21:06 /dev/ttyS0

any clue how I can get it working?

that's ok
I sometimes do not understand english quite well ;)
I've checked with native bios -- works fine
