 ahh ok.  hm, that should be pretty straightforward.

 it's usually pretty straightforward to get that up-and-running, boot
params console=/dev/fb0 which obviously you can either set in the
kernel config or directly into the linux kernel source code as the
default _or_ set them in u-boot.  but you *have* to have the lcd etc.
etc. "built-in" you cannot possibly hope to have that work if you've
got it as a module, because, duh, it won't be loaded when it's needed,
will it?? :)

 btw if you've got a "working" system that you can actually boot up
and get any kind of login / command-prompt (ssh over ethernet, serial
console) then my favourite trick to see if things are working is just
"echo shfjsafhajsfhsajfsadlf > /dev/fb0" - if you see garbage in the
top left corner of the lcd, it's working.

 get that working first _then_ try sorting out the boot parameters.
