Reason #1: garbage passed in kernel command line (if *you* didn't
set/verify each parameter there, don't expect it to work). Reason #2:
there's no ttySA0 device. There should be, but so far, no. Reason
number #3: booting using /dev/mtdblockN is deprecated, this was just
discussed on devel list. Reason #4: currently, there's no mtd support
for h3900 configured at all. Patches welcome (ipaq map is deprecated,
physmap should be used instead).
