If I understand it correctly you see the kernel probing, any you also see that 
a getty gets started at ttyd0 but you can't type (and see the echo) anything, 
right?

Maybe it's your terminal connection (null-modem I guess).
Make sure to measure 0Ohm between pin 1 and 6 (DSR-DCD) on the DTE (computer).
That's my only guess. Everything elese seems to be fine...
