ESXi 5.0 kernel hang when activating serial console output

We wanted to get the ESXi kernel booting log on serial terminal so i appended "gdbPort=none logPort=none tty2Port=com1"  on the command line argument(as described on link http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.install.doc_50%2FGUID-E17AB1... ) but ESXi kernel hangs while booting, see the following log. what could be the reason?

kernel booting log:
