Serial console
If the machine is only providing serial output during bootup, then it may not have been configured for serial logins. Check that the
/etc/inittab
file contains a line like
T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100
which tells init to start the program to provide login prompts.
The original kernel shipped with Debian sarge has a broken serial driver for Ultra 5s. The version in the security updates should work.
