You built a kernel with no module support?

That looks like a bug in our handling of the command line. We should
strip the kernel-image name.

In general, handling of two 'console=' commands is a bit suspect --
this is true of vanilla Linux as well. IT's not always obvious where
your boot messages will go after init starts. :-)

Apart from that it looks fine.
