Hello,
    This sounds like the same problem I had reported a few months ago.
If anyone has experienced this, and worked around/fixed it, please let
us know.

Hello! 
I have compiled the kernel, uclibc and busybox and downloaded everything
to PowerPC FADS 850. 
When the machine boots up, I see all of the kernel messages,. The kernel
tells me that it has found a compressed ramdisk image, then that it has
mounted /dev as devfs etc. The last thing the kernel says, is that it is
freeing unused kernel memory, then, when I wait for init messages
("Serial console detected ... init started", etc), I get nothing. In
linux/init/main.c I enter in 

execve("/sbin/init",argv_init, envp_init); 
and I don't exit. I think the problem is here. /sbin/init is a symbolic
link to bin/busybox. Is it possible that it can't find/solve it? And
why? Could be a ramdisk problem?

I'm using : 
gcc 2.95.2 
kernel 2.4.7 
uclibc 

Thanks very much! 
Stefania
