Your problem is not related to minicom. It's not related to buildroot
either. Most probably, your kernel simply doesn't boot, and there's a
huge load of possible reasons for that. You should really follow the
instructions found at the place or from the people you got the patchset
from. Or in last instance, go to linux-arm-kernel and ask for help
there. But I doubt that there will be much ambition to support such an
old version.

Again, this is the wrong list for that. And please don't cross-post
again. Everyone answering to your mails will get a bounce from rtai.org.
