ive seen issues depending on the env location. if the env cannot be loaded early, the *default env* is consulted for its silent settings, and then "work" once the saved env is relocated.
might also want to check CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV is enabled.
Yeah I think you are right. CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV is enabled for me, but at91sam9261ek also has CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT and CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT, so that RELOCATE issue is probably what is hindering me.
I looked at the console_init function (part where it is doing if(getenv("silent") != NULL)... and that is always returning null, even if it is set dynamically and rebooted.
What I did was change the check so it looks at a jumper instead of the getenv("silent") since this is what I wanted it to do anyway and it seems to all work now :).
I do notice that U-Boot is silencing everything except the "uncompressing kernel.............................." but I see the file related to that and should be able to fix it.
Thanks for your help.
