Sorry - I forgot to mention that. I did check and there was none.

I was thinking it just picked a different serial port for ttyS0 output.
That's why I waited a couple of minutes to see if I could
ping/ssh to the box. But after two minutes it still didn't
respond and should have by then.

The systems does have a VGA output but nothing is connected.
USB keyboard/mouse is not connected either.

However, you just gave me the idea to enable CONFIG_IA64_EARLY_PRINTK.
Trying that now.

thanks,
