Have Alphaservers DS10 currently failing to boot, howerver when I try
to use the serial2 port finding failure in seeing anything.
Install and switch to supported graphics controller and use SET CONSOLE GRAPHICS at SRM?
Have you tried moving your serial cable from Com2 to the other Com port?
You may see the boot problem with console messages. Without a supported graphic controller, you won't get any screen display.

GRAPHICS at SRM?
could it be also possible to set the graphics console at the RMC?
Have you tried moving your serial cable from Com2 to the other Com port?Have moved the serial cable to com1, with the use of putty, currently what I can access is RMC. With system boot cant see any output of the console messages. Have also been reading a couple of sites on how to invoke SRM from RMC but haven't succeeded.

if the SRM console is set to graphics, but you don't have a monitor
around or the graphics card has been removed, connect a terminal
(emulator) to the COM1 console port, power on the system and hit <Enter> several times until the SRM prompt >>> appears. Now you can enter ">>>
set console serial", followed by ">>> init" and the SRM console should
show up on the serial port from now on.

I'm not sure whether this works for a DS10, but I seem to remember
having used this method on several Alphaservers:
if the SRM console is set to graphics, but you don't have a monitor
around or the graphics card has been removed, connect a terminal
(emulator) to the COM1 console port, power on the system and hit <Enter> several times until the SRM prompt >>> appears. Now you can enter ">>>

Good luck,
Hans.
