At a lower level...are you keeping in mind that the UART-Lite baud rate (and
probably parity, stop bits, # of data bits) is set in hardware?  So any at-
tempt to specify settings in software (e.g. your 'getty' line above, or on
the kernel cmd line) have no effect.  If your console isn't set to match the
UART-Lite's hardware settings you're going to see gibberish, or nothing.
