Ok, and how do you boot the system, what kind of filesystem output are
you using?

I am booting the kernel with u-boot (Freescales u-boot for i.MX53 processors version rel_imx_2.6.35_11.01.00<http://opensource.freescale.com/git?p=imx/uboot-imx.git;a=commit;h=a069e6b2ca7e8f0ad39375ca12bec11bb0d41ba4>) with the boot arguments

console=ttymxc0,115200 video=mxcdi1fb:GBR24,XGA di1_primary tve root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait rootflags=barrier=1

I am directing all filesystem output to the console (ttymxc0).  This is my /etc/inittab file:

# Startup the system
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc proc /proc
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw / # REMOUNT_ROOTFS_RW
null::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/pts
null::sysinit:/bin/mkdir -p /dev/shm
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -a
null::sysinit:/bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
# now run any rc scripts
::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

# Put a getty on the serial port
ttymxc0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc0 115200 vt100 # GENERIC_SERIAL

# Stuff to do for the 3-finger salute
::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/reboot

# Stuff to do before rebooting
null::shutdown:/usr/bin/killall klogd
null::shutdown:/usr/bin/killall syslogd
null::shutdown:/bin/umount -a -r
null::shutdown:/sbin/swapoff ?a

It should be the default inittab created by buildroot, but I wanted to post it anyway for everyone to take a look to see if anything might be suspect.
