Looks like the init process is terminating unexpectedly.
What's /sbin/init for you?
How is it compiled? (could it be a OABI / EABI issue?)

What happens if you try booting with  init=/bin/sh   ?
or try using a script like this as init

#! /bin/sh
echo "Test stdout"
echo "Test console" > /dev/console
echo "Test tty1" > /dev/tty1
/bin/ls -l /dev > /dev/tty1

Cheers,
Martin
