 Well, output stops exactly at the point where the kernel is supposed to
 do some output - I suppose the bootloader is confused by the bios redirection
 and tells the kernel to use vga as console (which has no connector).
 Forcing the bootloader to use com0, however, doesn't seem to work either -
 which could simply be a com parameters issue (the redirection used 38400 8n1),
 or a strange numbering of com devices - I have no direct experience with this
 Alix boards, does anybody else use one?
