In my opinion, it should not matter that you do not have a filesystem at this point. If the kernel did in fact boot, it would still print all kernel messages to the console, if you have provided the correct console parameters (are you sure that what Linux sees as ttyS0 is the same serial port that you are connected to?). The boot process will then end in a panic because it cannot lauch an init process.
If the console params are correct, then there is probably some wrong with the image. If you haven't made any special configurations, my guess is that you have used an EABI generating toolchain to build a non-EABI kernel, or vice versa. Check CONFIG_AEABI and verify that this setting is in accordance with your toolchain. For CodeSourcery, this should be a "y" for example.
