Can you provide your kernel configuration information regarding the 
serial ports. Which serial port is your console port? Check the 
following configuration options:
   CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE
   CONFIG_SCC_CONSOLE
   CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE
   CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE

Another observation is that you are trying to boot with a RAM disk but 
you have not provided the RAM disk address to the bootm command. This 
is not your current problem since you don't get that far.
