Did you remember to change your inittab to use /dev/ttyUL0?
Yes, I'm using a buildroot/busybox system and have changed inittab and
securetty for ttyUL0. From what I understand, initialisation lines in a
busybox inittab that do not specify a tty at the beginning go out on
/dev/console. To collaborate this, if I set my hardware up for a
uart16550 and leave the inittab specifying ttyUL0, I see the messages
from the init scripts (which must be going to console) but then I
messages (again on console I guess) saying that ttyUL0 doesn't exist.
When I try things the other way round, I don't see anything at all (none
of the stuff that I think is going to console) and it doesn't moan at
me. Which I guess means something is wrong with /dev/console?
