With a 64 bit kernel I get:

RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
VFS: Mounted root (cramfs filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 144k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.

I have the following in my .config:

CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
# CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC is not set
CONFIG_MIPS32_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_MIPS32_O32=y
CONFIG_MIPS32_N32=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF32=y

With 2.6.22 (64 bit) I get:
