After trying all the suggestions finally I had to resort to linaro kernel packaging (https://wiki.linaro.org/PackageYourOwnKernel) to deploy the kernel which gave me the maximum sane output, but still failed to get the shell: http://paste.ubuntu.com/560935/

I tried disabling UUID validation as given in https://wiki.linaro.org/Mentoring/KernelDeploy, but that too did not help.

Hi Avik,

Would you be willing to try the instructions I created for this at:

https://wiki.linaro.org/Mentoring/KernelDeploy

Especially the section labeled:

#Deploying the kernel to the SD card

These instructions worked on my Overo board.
