if you are seeing 98/99 posts, the kernel is in the idle loop.

The odds are good that you don't have a serial console compiled in, OR you 
have vga test console compiled in, OR you did't give the console= switches 
james mentioned.

I am actually running a smartcore-p3 right now that doesn't output 
anything after boot, and it turned out I forgot to put in a serial 
console. Happens to me about once a month.
