YDL installation on G5 Xserver problem

The Xserve by default prints messages to video, not serial.
The serial output 
must be invoked by both firmware and the kernel in order to
gain full RS232 
control. W/out the proper kernel, the machine will hang, as
you have noted.

This is one of the features that Y-HPC offers, a kernel
config for serial 
output. Let's take this conversation off-line/direct as it
is more related to 
HPC than newbie.
