Hello Vineet, a thought...

Make sure you have a getty turned on at the serial console. An easy
thing to miss when first trying a new rootfs... well for me anyway.

e.g., in /etc/inittab:

ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

First time I built a rootfs with buildroot (cousin project to busybox at
uclibc.org), I forgot this, and it looked like the system was hanging in
init, but really everything was fine except the system wasn't listening
to the serial console for logins. In buildroot, the line above exists in
the default inittab, but is commented out.

Cheers,

Mark.
