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.
