Device file /dev/console doesn't seem to exist in your rootfs.

It seems that you don't have an executable called /bin/busybox in your
rootfs. Your kernel command line seems to have "init=/bin/busybox"
included?

But, hmmm, it is very strange, at least in your uboot bootargs there is
no such string. Is it because of some default kernel command line (set
before compiling the kernel)?

The rootfs which comes with ELDK "starts" with /sbin/init - it does not
use busybox, right (as far as I can remember)? So you need to specify
"init=/sbin/init" on your kernel command line.
