Hi

I am also trying to get things up and running using barebox. I am at
about the same stage where you are. Though I am loading the kernel
over TFTP instead from SD. Like you, I get "Uncompressing Linux...
done, booting the kernel" and then nothing.

Note that this last line is not printed by barebox but by the kernel.
There is a separate kernel build option to enable a console on the
omap serial port. Then you still need to add console=ttyOx,115200n8 to
your boot arguments. I think it needs to be ttyO2, though I am not
sure. I haven't had the time yet to try these options (it's just for a
hobby project).
