Look in init/main.c:init, where the kernel tries to exec an init program.
One of the steps is failing.  You can add printfs to find out which one.

Check the following:
    - Do you have CONFIG_SASH set?
	If so:
	    - does CONFIG_SASH_PATH exist?
	    - Is it statically linked?
	    - Do you have /dev/console on you root filesystem?

    - Do any of /sbin/init, /etc/init, /bin/init, /bin/sh exist?
    - Are the shared libraries set up to run the above correctly?

Regards,
Graham
