I am trying to bringup a MIPS32 board using 2.6.31. It is working in little endian mode. After changing the board's hardware from little endian to bit endian, the serial port print messed up. It prints now something like - "àààààààààààààààà" on the screen. When I trace the execution, I can see the string the kernel is trying print is correct - "Linux version 2.6.31 ..." and etc. I guess it means the initialization of the serial port is not properly done. But I am not sure where I should check for the problem. The serial port device I am using is 8250. Please give me some advise. Thanks.
