You mean to be able to track down the serial console bug?

Similar to my output.

Same here.

I was wondering whether it was just me (wrong config) or the 2.6 wasn't
working on C3k in general. Then I read on the mailing lists archive that
the serial console is not working for the C3k.

For that reason I was never able to test/run a 2.5/2.6 kernel, since
I don't have a STIcon (no graphics card).
Well, I think you can just compile no console at all and it will use a
dummy console AFAIK, but never tried that (not brave enough). Would you
be able to run 2.6 in that case?
