Here is the real problem, I have no video card (they don't come with them). I use the serial terminal. I used to get a prompt once init level 3 was reached, and then I could log in (not as root though for some wierd reason). It worked great until today.
Not relevant to the immediate problem, but to allow root to log in on the serial port, you can add "ttyS0" to /etc/securetty.
Now I don't get a prompt anymore. What I really want is to see the boot messages and why it stops or I can't tell what is wrong. Anyone know how to do this? If I use console=ttys0 or whatever with the kernel it does not output boot messages, which is really worthless.
Is the serial-cable known-good? These kind of things trip me up.Do you get the yaboot prompt? Did you ever? Was append="console=ttyS0,57600" ever added to /etc/yaboot.conf.
Can you transplant the hard drive into another XServe and read it from there?
