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.
