Have you tried a different port on the 2600 and have you tried a different
device (E.g. laptop serial port) with the Catalyst 2900? Sounds like a
hardware fault, broken console ports on the 2900 are relatively common.

Failing that, it could be something like a serial speed mismatch or console
with no exec but I'd then expect you to see something (Junk or messages
during boot) and not nothing at all.
