SUMMARY: Boot Problem Ultra - 2

Hi gurus!

Many thanks to:
RUSHE John
Joseph Kabbabe
Rossman
Manchikanti, Kalyan
Quinterno Mauricio A.

We find out that it was getting stuck in the "Serial Port"
initialization, then RUSHE John came up with the command "set-defaults"
issued at the OBP, and we don4t know why but it solved the problem.
It4s a little bit anoying not knowing why it solve it, however it4s also
good to know that those commands can sort things out sometimes.

Thanks to all!

Best Regards

Kenneth,
