How are you creating your boot image. If you are following the u-boot
directions then you don't need any board specific support in the
kernel. If you are trying to boot zImage, then you have more work to
do.

Did you happen to customize the BAUD rate information for u-boot or
Linux?  The u-boot default is 115K, Linux default is 9600.

Another thing that I have run into is the clock divider configuration
by u-boot. Try changing your minicom baud rate up or down by 4X and see
if you see anything then.
