I ran into this problem before. I had to build a custom image from source to solve it. The cause was that the disk controller driver wasn't included in the kernel. Without the driver, the kernel couldn't access the root partition and became stuck. To add this driver I had to compile from source.
I added the driver using make kernel_menuconfig. I also ran make menuconfig and disabled the matching kmod-* kernel module. I took these steps when I realized kmod-* kernel modules were stored in the root partition, not compiled into the kernel. Must you use a SATA hard drive as the storage device?
