Issue
Boot up or reboot hangs just after "Booting 'EMC Celerra Control Station Linux" and will not proceed past that point.
When booting up with a monitor attached to the Control Station, you will not see the full boot process.
You will see below output on the monitor screen.
Booting 'EMC Celerra Control Station Linux'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda3 console=ttyS1,19200 TERM=ansi-generic
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1d1af4]
initrd /initrd.img
[Linux-initrd @ 0x37dcf000, 0x220323 bytes]
Cause
Monitor is plugged into the VGA port. The screen will not report beyond this point.
Resolution
Unplug the VGA monitor and use a serial connection to a laptop/desktop. The full boot process can be seen by using a program such as PuTTY or HyperTerminal.

Hi Dell Sam
Thanks for your answer
The article is permission based. And I don't have an EMC account.
Could you suggest another way.
I'm really stuck.
