Yes, if it shows "root@localhost:~#" in serial console, then we can reasonably say "boot" and "serial" test passed. Or we can move a little bit forward, if "uname -a" works well and we got the output string, we can say "serial" test *actually* passed.

I agree. Maybe lava-test-shell could add some sort of "boot passed" test result once it sees the prompt and before it executes the shell stuff?
