[Problem]

Hi Steven,

# Can you help out the messages appears while starting the server as ( Jumping to console) what does this mean exactly.


Thanks

Was the old one bad? If the old one was
dead, then the console setting may have been
lost. If the NVRAM forgot it because the
cell was bad, then putting in a new cell will
not cause it to remember the old setting.

What message appears where?

Still true.

Still true.

A JPEG image? It's plain text. Why not just
copy+paste the plain text?

Have you tried the other serial port? (Does
an ES40 have two serial ports?)

>>>show console

If you want it to use the graphics head and
keyboard for the console, then:

>>>set console graphics

(and cycle the power), but if you can find
the right serial port, and learn to do
copy+paste, then it might be better to stay
with a serial console until you find all the
other problems.
