zImage.elf loads but does not start

[Charles Krinke]

I find this usually happens when /dev/tty, /dev/console or /dev/ttyS0
are not setup properly. That is, they are files instead of nodes. This
menas you have mounted the root filesystem and init is running on that
root filesystem.

The exact device node this requires is /dev/console c 5 1
That should solve your issue.
