What hardware and driver is underlying ttyS5, cuz kdb has
initialization code in drivers/serial/8250.c that populates
a struct based on that driver startup, the symptom you are
seeing means that when kdb runs its init its finding NO
console info initialized.

Could it be a different driver being used?

Anyway, just an thought...
