Unable to figure out why since all the others are the same. The server can boot and run other OS's just fine, what make petasan different?

If you see the Xorg display failing to enter graphics mode it may be a display card issue. If on the other hand you do not see this and just see a tc prompt try switching to others via crl-alt-f2 (or f1 to f6)
If it is failing while un compressing the initial ram disk it could be a ram issue.

You would think that it would be the same with the other servers, but other OS's work fine on the one giving issues. But it depends on where the other OS's put their stuff in RAM. As far as the display, there is no shearing and the tiny core X works fine, at that point. I'll do a memory test to make sure. I can see the this happening if the image is uncompressing and fails. Will update.
