Just take out the

ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

line from your inittab (or, preferrably, just stick a # in front):

#ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

You're telling getty to grab ttyS0, while at the same time you're 
telling the kernel to use it for the console.

It's one or the other.
