woody, and it is 64bit only machine).
Here is full console ouput after boot.

I've tried to change 'console' and 'TERM' kernel parametrs, temp
variable doesn't change anything. When I'm switching 'console' to
another port i don't see any output when kernel starts.
PS: Sorry for html formating, but it must be more easy to read.
