I think you should try to get a deeper understanding of what is what. first, it is important to remember that there are two different sets of environment variables. With all the CONFIG_ settings you define only the _default_ environment, which gets used as a default (hence the name) only when the normale environment does not exist or is not valid (like corrupted checksum). So as long as you have a valid environment stored somewhere on your system, installing a new U-Boot with different settings of the default environment will have zero effect. Second, CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND defines exactly one environment variable, "bootcmd". As documented, the values of this variable is apssed to the Linux kernel as boot argument - and this is the only function of this variable. You can add random things to it, even U-Boot commands, but this will never have any effect on the operation of U-Boot - it might only consfuse the Linux kernel. > I really don't know the reason why Linux keeps talking during boot > when using "console=", whereas "quiet" and changing the loglevel is > working. I already asked in some forums about this, but it was as What exactly did you pass in the kernel command line - just "console=", i. e. without a value? Did you try passing a valid device name instead, like "console=null"? Also, are you sure early debug output is disabled in your kernel configuration? Otherwise this will get printed even before the Linux kernel's console driver has been started.
