Thanks a lot for advise.
That said it works also fine if jut unplug kbd ;)
The most difficult was first to find the serial cable and second to find
that hyperterminal have to be setup without flow control. (thanks)
And the bad is that I couldn't reproduce the pb when I use the serial port
as console?
Here is what I grab:

all seems the same excepted that at <====[*] it failled like you mentioned

umm did we used the same ramdisk in the two case?
May be also interesting to know that it's the builtin gfx (no additional
gfx card?)
Thanks again for your attention,
