I had a similar problem. In my instance it turned out that I was inadvertently using the physical address of my uart as the output address. This worked during boot becasue there was a 1:1 physical-logical entry stuffed into the MMU. But since Linux did nto know about it, as soon as the VM system decided to use that TLB entry IO died - right in the middle of a string.
While it is unlikely you made exactly the same mistake. One area you can check is memory.
