Since a new clearos 6.6 (64bits) is available for download, I did an install in a newly created VMWare 5.5 machine.
It is about a (test) gateway installation on my LAN with two network cards.
After a successful installation the system shows a black screen and no netconsole appears.
I repeated the installation twice with the same result.
Alt-F2 gives me access to commandline and I see that I have gotten two ip-addresses (external and a internal) but I see no errors.
Webconfig is available through the external networkcard, and behaves normally
Never had a black screen before in this VMWare 5.5 installation, with clearos 6.5.
Has something changed? :S
what can I try to cat netconsole visible?

So the problem is that it cannot find screens during the loading of glx......
After changing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/vm.conf to the following
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
EndSection
Everything seems to work correctly!!
Hope it will help others too....

Ahh so it's not just me...
Had the same problem on a Dell Poweredge and on VMWare ESX 5.5
If I type characters on the blank console screen they appear. Like you I used Alt-F2 to verify startup had completed and could then log in to web interface to complete the setup.
Never had this problem before.
