What you see is certainly not a crash - something obviously just changes
the baudrate. If you're not using getty, it's something else. Try
adding 'init=/bin/sh' to your kernel command line. That should dump you
directly to a shell without any further startup script processing. If
that works, your problem is not related to the kernel.

Maybe the baud rate configured in the older kernel is different?
I don't know.
