I finally got to the bottom of this issue. I had to install from the Debian 11 cd, upgrade from the 12 cd and then upgrade to the Debian ports repo. I finally have a working system.
The issue I have found with the console redirect problem is with the di kernel greater than 5.16-05. Changing of the console settings in the ipl has no effect. The full kernel has no issues with booting in the normal serial console. I know that this doesn’t effect a lot of parisc machines maybe just rp3410. I would be interested to know why this maybe the case?
