I think it was able to mount the root fs. From what I recall, it did
say mounted ext4 file system on /dev/mmcblk0p2. Also, from what I
seem to recall, when I ran e2fsck on that partition on my pc, the fs
wasn't unmounted cleanly. So, I'm 95% sure the kernel was able to
mount the root fs.

Ok. So the most likely cause of the problem I think was that I didn't
have agetty running on ttyAMA0. Thanks for confirming that all it
takes to do second stage is in fact a kernel which matches the arch.
