If you refer to my rescue boot/root set, you might remember
that they try to autodetect a serial console.
It looks that the kernel boots OK, but your output stops
when it tries to start init. The standard kernel just writes
to /dev/console, and forks init with it's I/O to /dev/console.
What type of console are you using? Serial or Graphic screen?
Please check the /dev/console entry on your root FS on /dev/sda1.
It should point to /dev/tty1 for keyboard / screen console,
and to /dev/cua0 (/dev/ttyS0) for a serial console.
Good luck

I can't understand why it won't work on my Linux computer.
