Most boards will compile, but some may show runtime issues. U-Boot
1.2.0 is very, very old (more than 3 years or 12 releases), and there
are many places in the code where for example no accessor functions
are used to access device registers - with better optimizing compilers
this is known to be a cause for trouble.

You better use recent code instead - upgrade to U-Boot v2010.03.

"Unable open an initial console" means that the kernel cannot find the
"/dev/console" entry in your root file system. Check if the file
exists. Check if you can see it when mounting the root file system
from another Linux box.
