no bash prompt

[Rahul Dev]

Dear all,

    I am running linux 2.4.2  over  ads  powerpc (8260) board.
    Since , there is no support of scsi  controller over the board , i m
using ramdisk image.

    I m getting the following  prints:

The  problem is that i m not getting  bash  prompt.
Then i  added  one application in my ramdisk.image  that  prints  some
message  on  "/dev/console" .
But i m not getting any prints .
Can anybody point out that where could the problem be??

thanx and regards,
 -rd
