Conole problem on MPC8280 based Rattler board

[Srivatsan]

Hi,
 
Excuse me for posting this message again. I forgot to change the
subject.
 
As I am not sure of the cause of the below mentioned error, I have
mailed this to both uboot and LinuxPPC group. 
 
We are trying to port linux 2.4.20 for the mpc8280 Rattler board. Kernel
boot seems to stop after printing "Now booting the kernel".
 
But from the log buffer(Starting at 0x194654) dump it looks like it is
well crossing this stage.
 
The last message that was dumped in the log buffer is:
 
00194EB4: 3C 34 3E 65 74 68 30 3A  20 63 6F 6E 66 69 67 3A  |<4>eth0:

The boot loader used is u-boot.
 
Any pointers to why messages after "Now booting the kernel" are not
getting on to the console ?.Is it that I am missing some patch? 
Thanks everybody for your time.
 
 
regards,
C.R.Srivatsan
