The fix for it should not be redefining the console to wrong argument. For example on Odroid MC1 this problem does not exist: [ 0.000000] earlycon: exynos4210 at MMIO 0x12c20000 (options '115200n8') [ 0.000000] printk: bootconsole [exynos4210] enabled [ 3.111883] printk: console [ttySAC2] enabled [ 3.111883] printk: console [ttySAC2] enabled [ 3.120102] printk: bootconsole [exynos4210] disabled [ 3.120102] printk: bootconsole [exynos4210] disabled but your console for some reason is tty0... why? Is your console ttySAC2? Maybe it is the effect of alias: serial0 = &serial_2; > > However the question is, are you sure you want earlycon on every, including > > successful boot?

It should be just earlycon. Best regards, Krzysztof
