I just had the same symptom in my port this morning.  In my case, the
kernel was not picking up the initrd_start or initrd_size from the boot
loader.  It was a bug in my *_setup.c file.  I tossed out the use of r4 and r5
and switched to using parse_bootinfo in platform_init().  That fixed it.

It could also be a problem in the boot loader.
