Hello,
Have you made sure you have devices in the /dev directory?
That message seems pretty familiar (unable to open an initial
console). It means there is no /dev/console device.
Try using mknod to make it, then try booting the kernel.

command line you used? Are you facing a problem with loading the
correct driver for the sdcard? Well, I got the tssdcard.ko driver from
the website which is probably the one for the 2.6.21 kernel. However,
I am still not being able to boot to it. I am also trying to use the
filesystem from the sd card and not nfs.
