That's true. This is just from personal experience with an embedded PPC; the 
default buildroot configuration does not generate any output from the RC 
scripts if everything else works correctly. All you will see is init starting 
and then nothing if inittab doesn't start a console on a serial port. Of 
course, we would need more info from Paul to really determine if this is the 
issue.
