Linux doesn't accept the value ``dd'' for the console variable.  If you
try, Linux should complain about the setting and enter the interactive
firmware mode again.  Could you try setting console to either d1 or d2
according to the serial line you're using?

Thanks for testing this; having working serial consoles is on of the
missing parts in supporting the Challenge S.
