hi did you check your initial console? what do you get on kernel 2.4 when you say: cat /proc/cmdline May be the name for your initial console changed from ttyS0 (2.4) to ttySMX0 (2.6) or some thing similar. Probably you will find the name for it in drivers/serial/the_driver_which_is_used_for_your_board.c It is just an assumption ...
