Thanks Tom. I will give it this a try. I did try one thing before I see your reply. Edited /etc/grub.conf and added console=ttyS1,57600n8 infront of kernel line. This made the console o/p redirected to ttyS1. Then I connected through IPMI SOL to see if it works. Not only that it showed kernel uncompressed but also the init process and login prompt which I generally see KVM console. I also have KVM over IP which this time did not show the redline which shows the progress of boot process but did show login prompt like ttyS1 I am glad to see that console got redirected by doing just this ..:) I will see if there is any drawback doing like this.
