Ah, so your console access is read-only?
I don't think this is a huge problem. Here's what I would do then: just
put the commands I told you about into a shell script to run at startup,
as root of course. Then ssh into the box.
The commands don't need to be run manually; a startup script is fine.
If that doesn't fix it, perhaps you could modify the startup script to
write output to /tmp/output.txt, run nc/netcat to read that file, then
grab it remotely with nc. Or just use http(s) if you're already running
a webserver. That way you see what the blocker is.
But I think the commands I showed should resolve the issue.
How many servers are left?
