	Hello,

	It's not a tftp trouble. Your U60 is able to find your boot image. You 
say that you don't have any framebuffer and output you have posted shows 
that kernel tries to switch to a framebuffer to attach tty0. Can you try 
with a frambuffer ? If not, you have to be sure that your boot image 
contains all modules required to support console on serial line. If I 
have more time this afternoon, I shall check on my U60.

	Regards,
