First of all, trying removing the Sbus GX card and see what happens. If that
fails, check the 'sbus-probe-list' setting. That's used to determine the
default console device when the 'output-device' parameter is set to
'screen'.
Are you sure that *all* of the SX support software has been loaded onto
your system?
Regards,
Craig.
