The problem is that you don't have a console. Only uart0 is
found and that's the debug port. You have a remote management
card that has the console, but the card is not detected:

If you have the vendor and device IDs of that card then I can
add those. Chances are that you'll see more :-)

BTW: You should be able to find the vendor and device ID in
EFI.

HTH,
