That's probably expected if you enable dual console mode (-D) when the BIOS is also redirecting VGA output to the serial port. Each character goes to both the serial port and the screen, but the BIOS is also copying screen characters to the serial port so each character appears twice. Once the kernel starts it no longer uses BIOS calls to output to the screen. There might be a BIOS option to disable the redirection when booting. Alternatively you could remove the -D, but you will no longer get kernel boot messages on the VGA console.
