Not sure why the CPU matters here..

One thing to check is if you have these in your .config:

CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y

Or do you maybe have CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=m as loadable module?

If you have CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE=m, maybe you need to modprobe serial_base
if you have some minimal rootfs that does not automatically do it for you.
