[Voyage-linux] Trouble booting RLX blade

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my earlier mail.  These blade servers do not 
have a console at all, they only support serial installs.

I'm not sure exactly what the issue is yet, because after waiting a long 
long time (10+min) it eventually gets past the serial driver loading, but 
it never completes boot. It fails somewhere in the initrd.  I will try and 
log a boot sequence.  Unfortunately, the voyage kernel disables the kernel 
message timestamps so it will be harder to debug the length of time it 
takes to boot.  Can those timestamps be enabled via boot args?
