serial console problem

[Robin Becker]

I have a collocated  server which had serial console access. The server centre 
re-located the server and left off the serial console.

The server worked fine for a few hours, but then access got slower and slower 
and eventually died.

Could it be that the lack of a console is causing that? I'm think the console 
may want to flush its buffer or is waiting on a question etc etc. Whilst I was 
able to communicate with it I could see that an fsck was happening so perhaps 
it's asking permission to clean up or something.

Of course I have asked the centre staff to re-connect the consol so I can see 
what's going on, but that is happening as fast as hell freezes.
