Just some thoughts:
o if ssh doesn't work, try ping. ping will give a clue how far into the
  initialization the kernel got.

o after cyclepower on a system configured to run console on serial port,
  not seeing PDC init messages on the serial port suggests a HW problem.

o try another serial cable or a different "client" to start ruling
  out issues with serial connection.

settings are correct.
