the output looks actually good in that regard that the kernel came up -
so you did all right with copying the image to the stick. Still,
something is wrong and we need the serial output of the machine to see
what is ongoing, as Nobody III suggested already. If you adventures
enough, you may also apply the last commit of the following experimental
branch [0] to your branch and rebuild - with that you should get some
limited output on the VGA console screen.

Cheers,

Alex.
