I have essentially the same bootargs as you, including the console. If
I boot the kernel that Marvell ships, in exactly the same way and with
the same bootargs, everything works fine, and I can watch the kernel
loading on the console.

I have also tried running:

  setenv mainlineLinux=yes
  setenv arcNumber=2097

first, as Martin suggested, but that didn't change anything.
