Not getting login prompt after CPU entered into cpu_idle() state

So, we have built busybox with the same tool chain version that we
used to build the 2.6.32 kernel image. Even though, we are seeing the
same error messages i.e. we are seeing 5 to 6 "/sbin/modprobe" calls
after calling the "/sbin/init". After that, we did not see any
messages at all. We are getting the SAME log messages that we got
earlier when we use this busybox file system which was build with same
tool chain.

My next guess would be that some tty device nodes changed and your
init configuration at /etc/inittab points to wrong console devices. At
least that was the case when I had a similar error. Init starts and
puts the login prompt on the wrong console device so you don't see it.
