OK, hmm. I've got some better ideas then. It sounds like the code to
have puts show up on VGA isn't selected/compiled in. Or, there's still
some other problem wrt the OF transition code. Just having a serial
console selected still doesn't give output however, right?

The simple answer is, don't use allnoconfig :). Do a 'make
common_defconfig' and then from there turn off stuff you don't need.
