[U-Boot-Users] Looking for Help booting Kernel

Hi,
I am trying to boot the latest kernel for a MPC5200B based board from DENX. I built the latest UBoot which seems to run fine on my board.
With the new uboot, my same environment variables, I can still boot my old kernel.
U-Boot 1.3.0-rc2-dirty (Sep 24 2007 - 08:08:49)

... and the kernel runs fine. With the latest kernel from Denx, I get the following:

Is there anything special I need to pass to the kernel for setting up the console on the MPC5200B? I had to change ttyS0 to ttyPSC0 for the old console to work. Is there anything I need to enable inside the kernel?
The kernel command line is:
root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.100.102:/opt/eldk/ppc_6xx \ ip=192.168.100.11:192.168.100.102:192.168.100.102:255.255.255.0:\ MyBoard:eth0:off console=ttyPSC0,115200 panic=1
Many thanks,
Nick

What are you talking about - is this an arch/ppc or an arch/powerpc configuration? If you use an arch/powerpc configuration, you have to pass a device tree to Linux, too.

Yes this is a arch/powerpc configuration. I got the device tree compiler, copied/configured a .dts file for my board and compiled it to a .dtb file. I still don't see any output on my console.
Here are the commands from uboot:

I enclosed my .dts file as well
Thanks again,
