 That's correct.

 I did that (actually "console=ttyS0,57600" like I have wrote below) and 
 I also burned new 2004.2.iso with different kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r1 but
 result was the same.
 I think that I have something wrong with kernel's .config because
 it seems to be so that http://gnumonks.org/~laforge/weblog/  
 succeeded with 2.6.8-gentoo-r1
