What exactly do you mean with "garbage, but not copmpletely random"?

Is it the ordinary type of "line noise" as you get when the baud rate
is wrong, or do you get  valid  characters,  but  only  every  second
character  gets  output?  If  you  get  every  second character, this
usually means that your console port is misconfigured.

Always try to do things in chronological order; it's  less  confusing
that way.
