Hi, I am using 2.6.19 Linux on 8641D based system.
I am using early printk's and it works fine until console_init() is executed. After that it does not, as the early printk's get disabled, which is fine. However, I don't see any prints after that at all, that are based on regular printk statements. I looked directly into the memory at __log_buf and found all the print messages. It is just not coming out to the serial port properly. It would be great if some one can tell me various parameters that I need to consider changing, to successfully port the serial driver for a new board. Based on the early printk's, I am getting the following messages...
