At this point, there is no difference for u-boot starting the kernel if
it has booted in external or internal mode. It seems an unrelated issue.

On mx35pdk you can reset the board without powerd off. You should check
the address in kernel for the log buffer (__log_buf in System.map) and
then check it after a reset in u-boot with the "md" command. If we are
lucky, the RAM does not lose its values. Better will be if you have a
JTAG debugger and can you check inside memory directly when the kernel
hangs without rebooting.

Depending on the kernel version, ttymxc0 could be wrong. Have you
checked it ?
