By default the kernel takes the bitrate as configured in the UART so it
should be ok as it works with other kernels without this parameter. The
firmware uses 9600 bps.

Yes, they are. 

2 possible reasons for this problem I see :

+ http://www.solinno.co.uk/7043-140/files/2.6.9-rc2/*.diff are not applied
 
+ support for 8250 serial and console is missing. I wouldn't expect that
  as all other prep platforms I know of use a 8250 compatible UART.

A self-compiled 2.6.11.6 fai kernel works fine.

Cheers,

Peter (p2).
