Ok I'll try that as soon as I can get CodeWarrior to work again...

Nope and using init=/bin/sh 
gave me /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
And then 
/ # tty
not a tty

Is helpful ? This is while using console=ttyS1,115200 (so when I know
it's working)

Ok I'll try to revive CodeWarrior (I would better appreciate a BDI2000,
but I'm stuck with a Freescale USB TAP that require CodeWarrior)
