Hi Byron,

I've Cc'ed the openbmc mailing list on this reply.

Sorry, I failed to mention that you also need to add 'debug' and 
'earlyprintk' to your kernel commandline (i.e. append them to the 
'bootargs' u-boot environment variable) for the CONFIG_DEBUG_* bits 
above to be useful.

Let me know if that helps.
