Please try 2.6.0-test9 and start with one of the configs David pointed at on the Gelato URL. If you're using a VGA console, it's easy to configure the kernel to not get output where you want it. If you're trying to use a serial console, make sure you're appending a 'console=ttyS0,n8' to your elilo entry. Note that it depends how you have your firmware setup as to whether ttyS0 is the builtin UART port or the 'console' port on the management port (if you have one). You can check this in the EFI boot option maintenance menu. Choose one, and only one, UART port for the console output device. The PNP0501 entry is the builtin UART, the HWP0002 is the management port. Also, the on-board scsi controller for the zx6000 is the mpt fusion driver, not the sym driver.
