If you're really using a Lynx KDI, this is not necessary. The KDI
should be self-contained.

This is really, really, important ... double check this. The default Bluecat
hardcodes the IMMR ... it doesn't look for the u-boot parameters ... it just
creates its own bd info struct. So if u-boot and Bluecat are not in sync,
the behavior you describe is just what I would expect.

This is another area to check. The default Bluecat BSP for VADS has
many of these hardcoded. Although u-boot is smart in this area, Bluecat
is (unfortunately) is not. The Bluecat code may not be setting up the
uart BRG incorrectly -- check any code you borrowed from the VADS
BSP.
