Ken,
I don't think my problem is with my rc file, but by all means take a look at it.
I think my problem is with the JTAG UART. At this point, I'm not really sure. I can log into my system through the ethernet port and all works just fine.
My problem seems to be the console, you can see the garbage I get out below. Sometimes it is worse, usually not better. Often when I log in through the console, I get Login Incorrect. When I am able to log in, I usually get booted out within 20 or 30 seconds. If I use the IDE to load my new kernel, I get an "m_state == STATE_DEBUG" error, usually before I get 25% of the code downloaded (it comes in at random times).
