What kernel config are you using?  If you have configured
CONFIG_UNICODE_UTF8_DATA is a module, that's probably your problem.
At the point when you are mounting the root file system, the Unicode
UTF-8 module is not present unless you are using an initial ramdisk
and you have set things up to include the Unicode data module in the
initrd.  That would certainly explain why the root file system failed
to mount, and since you don't have access to the early boot output,
this wouldn't have been as obvious to you.

Try configuing CONFIG_UNICODE_UTF8_DATA=y (as opposed to =m or =n),
and hopefully that will fix things for you.

Cheers,
