Hi James,
Loads of issues were pointed out there for me to solve (Thanks) but the main one was to do with my console baud rate after all. When I changed my terminal emulator to 9600 linux was there up and running all along. The problem was that U-boot was configured to run at 115200 and linux at 9600. The problem I have now is changing my u-boot baud rate to 9600 (which is what the powers that be have decided). I tried changing CONFIG_BAUDRATE to 9600 but it has no effect, it just stays at 115200. Any ideas?
I can't think of a proper reason why changing CONFIG_BAUDRATE and a make (after make clean) shouldn't help, but you can surely do the following (in u-boot):
setenv baudrate 9600 [adjust terminal emulator and press enter] saveenv
Cheers Detlev
