I don't know what is wrong. I've had the same problem in the past, but
can't remember what the solution was. I also remember banging head
against the wall for a few days until I figured out that the SD card I
was using was bad.

Use dd like in step 10 of my notes? You might need to change the
output file dev though.
Did you read the this?

One thing I have found to be very useful is to compile a stock TS
kernel, but add "console=ttyAM0,115200 debug" to the CONFIG_CMDLINE of
the kernel config. This dump a lot more information to the serial port
that made it much easier to see what was causing the boot to fail.
