    I have several 1000A servers, one of which has previously been
    upgraded to Tru64 5.1A. I succesfully upgraded another to 5.1B.
    However, the final 2 servers I have upgraded now exhibit a strange
    problem with the console. All the servers are using a serial
    connection. The last 2 servers start outputing to the terminal
    connected to comm port 1, but stop part way through and can't login on
    the console. The systems do boot fully and I can telnet into them. It
    appears that when the output to comm port 1 stops, the remaining
    output is to comm port 2. Also, I can log in on the console with comm
    port 2. Any ideas?

    The 5.1B servers have all had patch kit 2 applied.
