Are you sure your /etc/inittab is properly configured to set-up a getty or shell on whichever serial line you're using ? This "ip: RTNETLINK" is something I also have, but the system is fully functional. However, when I forget to adapt the /etc/inittab to the board serial port configuration, I get the same behaviour as you do.
