Modifying the printk() code and sending the output directly to the
serial line (without using the driver since u-boot already init the
serial port for me) I get:

   <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!                 

So the problem seems to be the "acquire_console_sem()" into
"con_init()" function (file «drivers/char/vt.c»).

Suggestions? How is possible that the serial console code is buggy?
