I tried booting with the kernel installed for the Neremiah board, but that just rebooted immediately with no traces (I'm pretty sure it was an i686 kernel).
I've put some traces in linuxrc (in the initrd image) and i know that script is finishing. I believe the next step is init should be called.
I'm rather curious about the lack of messages in /var/log/messages, I thought there should be some...
