I'm not build the Kernel with diagnostic information but I have working 
Kernel and may be rootfs because I have command prompt with buildroot. 
Can execute ifconfig command but the response don't show my IP, shows 
only this:
# ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

I think I'm sure that the Kernel is working because with another rootfs 
my Ethernet is working - can read the IP with ifconfig. But I must use 
the rootfs from Buildroot because the small size of it.
