I finally got to the bottom of this issue.=20

I had to install from the Debian 11 cd, upgrade from the 12 cd and then upgr=
ade to the Debian ports repo. I finally have a working system.=20

The issue I have found with the console redirect problem is with the di kern=
el greater than 5.16-05.  Changing of the console settings in the ipl has no=
 effect.=20

The full kernel has no issues with booting in the normal serial console.=20

I know that this doesn=E2=80=99t effect a lot of parisc machines maybe just r=
p3410.=20

I would be interested to know why this maybe the case?=20
