The SMC2 isn't a very good choice for a console if you intend to use it beyond some simple boot up messages.

Are you loading a microcode relocation patch (or was one loaded and not removed properly) without proper driver modifications? Since the console is the first thing used by the kernel in the IMMR space, do you have that mapped properly? -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
