Chances the counter was missprogrammed. Or are you running uncached?

At about this point the actual console driver is registered and takes over from the early console driver - whatever that may be in your case. So seems the early console driver is fine but the actual console driver (that is serial driver) is falling over. Ralf [1] Okay, I'm just trying to convince people to upgrade :-)
