Another posibility that I thought of since you are using Peter K's
driver.
If you have any interrupt problems I think you could get your
current behavior.
During boot console I/O is not interrupt driven. When the OS sends a
string the whole string gets sent and then the console write exits,
but very close to running init, the console switches to using the
full driver. PK's driver is interrupt driven. If the UartLite TX FIFO
empty interrupt
is broke in anyway, it will send until the first time the FIFO fills
and then stop. The interrupt could be broken in firmware - not properly
connected to the PIC, or it could be broken in software - however your
driver is receiving its interrupt configuration, the driver may be
receiving the incorrect intterrupt #.
At one point I tried to add timer driven polling to PK's driver
similar to that in the 8250 and others - we have clients that run
without any PIC,
but trying to figure out what was going on proved sufficiently
difficult I just went back to my own driver.
