Hi,

        this message told you that your /dev/console is not linked to our
choice of console. I think that our root FS is built with the idea that you
will use the sti-console!

If you use the serial port, you must change /dev/console
-- this is STI conf

demo@b132:~$ ls -l /dev/console
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jan 29  1970 /dev/console -> tty0

-- this is SERIAL conf
demo@b132:~$ ls -l /dev/console
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           10 Mar 14 13:42 /dev/console ->
/dev/ttyS0

Do NOT forget to modify the inittab file!
