    When the linux kernel boots, it switches consoles:

    Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 30x40

    I'd rather it stay with the ttyS0 device, so I passed a console command line. But something, lolo perhaps, is overriding my option:

    Kernel command line: console=ttyAM1,115200 console=ttyS0,115200

    What is this ttyAM1 and how can I make it stop?

    Marc,

    The default console should already be the serial port, you can
    ignore the message saying "switching to colour frame buffer..."
    ttyAM1 is the device for the 9520's serial port. That part of
    the command line is statically added in arch/arm/mach-lh79520/arch.c,
    from which you can remove it if you really do want to take it out.

    Are you not getting a prompt on the serial port? There won't
    be one unless the system starts up successfully and is able to run
    the init and login programs.

    regards,
    mt
