Yeah I think you are right.  CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV is enabled for me, but 
at91sam9261ek also has CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and
CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT, so that RELOCATE issue is probably what is
hindering me.

I looked at the console_init function (part where it is doing
if(getenv("silent") != NULL)... and that is always returning null,
even if it is set dynamically and rebooted.

What I did was change the check so it looks at a jumper instead of the 
getenv("silent") since this is what I wanted it to do anyway and it seems to
all work now :).

I do notice that U-Boot is silencing everything except the "uncompressing 
kernel.............................." but I see the file related to that and 
should be able to fix it.

Thanks for your help.
