This looks as if the baudrate is wrong.  If I remember correctly, up
until "Enabling com device" all output is via some hardcorded and
really dumb debug statements, after this the LinuxBIOS I/O system
takes over.  So check that the debug baudrate and that the baudrate
for the rest of LinuxBIOS is the same.
