Console problem

Hi,

I'm having some problems to boot the Linux kernel 2.6.11.11 on a HP
Superdome with 16 Itanium 2 processors and EFI version 1.1. After the
"Uncompressing Linux ... done" message appears, there is no more output
for the console. The boot doesn't stop (I'm sending part of the
/var/log/messages file attached to this email), but no more messages are
printed in the console and the "login" prompt is not shown. It seems to
be a console problem, but I'm not sure about how to fix it... When I
boot kernel 2.4 without the "console=" option, I have a similar
problem, no kernel output, but the "login" prompt is shown. For kernel
2.4 the problem is solved when I specify the "console=ttyS0" argument in
the boot process. However, the same doesn't happen for kernel 2.6. Even
if I specify "console=ttyS0", I have no kernel output and no "login"
prompt. I also tried "console=hcdp" but it also doesn't work. Has anyone
experienced a similar problem which could help me solving it?

Any suggestion is welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Monica
