I'm seeing the same here. The kernel switches independend of your 
kernel-settings (STI-Console - no STI-Console) to serial-console and just 
puts some of it's error-messages to the STI-console. 
If you don't have a nullmodem cable, you could try to ping/telnet your 
parisc, to see if it's still alive.
I currently don't know which change in CVS disallowed us to use just 
STI-Console, but will try to figure out later today. 

Helge.
