The kernel uses a serial device that it cannot find during bus
enumeration. This is caused by having a DIG64 HCDP table that in
all likelyhood defines the console port on the management board.
The serial devices on the management board are not identified by
the kernel. This is because puc(4) is either not configured in the
kernel or the driver does not recognize the hardware yet. The 5.1
release is too old for me to remember if the support was there.

To fix it, change the console in EFI to use the serial device that
has no PCI node in the device path. In all likelyhood that gives
you sio0. Plug the cable on the upper of the 2 serial connectors
on the back. That's sio0 if I remember correctly (it's been a year).

HTH,
