I tried with the inittab.dist, didn't work.

I searched to find the right way understandig this distribution and finally, I think, I find the legit way to do it.

We need the module like I said before, then, instend modifing /etc/rc.local we need to create a the file :
/etc/init/ttyAMA0.conf like I find here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto

Code:

# ttyAMA0 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on ttyAMA0 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc or RUNLEVEL=[12345]
stop on runlevel [!12345]

respawn
exec /sbin/getty -L 115200 ttyAMA0 vt100

Of course I worked allways like root, then reboot.
