[yocto] Unable to get serial console login prompt - PowerPC 440 Virtex 5 processor

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
       I switched to using gcc-4.6 from the meta-openembedded layer, and still get the same issue, i.e. no login or bash prompt with init=/bin/sh

gdb, connected to the target board via JTAG to debug the kernel, also doesn't seem to complain:

So weird.
