I am having similar problems on a Dell 2850 using 6.0R AMD64, but I believe its not something to do with my hardware although I don't have any other AMD64/EMT64 server to test on. I don't think I have actually done a ISO install via serial console on 6.0-Release but I think I did on beta versions and it did work. I have been trying to do a PXE install and watching it all via serial console and it works fine as long as I dont use 6.0-Release files. Using a 6.0beta with PXE is working it fully boots the kernel and brings up sysinstall my only problem now is that when it tries to do a FTP install it goes for a 6.0beta5 directory which doesn't exist. When I try to use a 6.0-Release I can get it to boot loader and then get it to load the kernel but after that it disappears don't get any boot messages at all.
