>There's no VGA console support by default.
My dmesg shows the following output.
<snip>
pcib1: <ACPI PCI-PCI bridge> at device 30.0 on pci0
pci1: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib1
pci1: <display, VGA> at device 1.0 (no driver attached)

What is the issue to enable the VGA console in IA64 build?
Using Serial Console I can boot like this.

But I cannot get the login: prompt on the serial console. What is the
problem?
Anything I have to disable in the BIOS? I enabled console redirection to
serial port in BIOS.
When I press the poweroff button, I get the following on the serial
console:
