[olug] [OT] Cisco 1548M freezing upon initial bootup

[Brian Roberson]

Sounds like you may have your console not setup correctly, or a bad console 
cable - 9600 baud,
8 data no parity and 1 stop bit (8N1), hardware flow control.  What are you 
using for a terminal emulator?
Can you send a ctrl-x 3 times while it is still booting and get into diag 
mode? If you plug something into a port,
does the link light work? Dose the switch pass any traffic?
