Have you tried command line init=/lib/sysvinit/init? This is to rule out
systemd
Next thing I would do is try boot from usb - I do not see in the log
assignment to the disk, so I suspect the hard drive is not assigned
properly and can not be accessed - are you booting from a card, or disk or
usb? What if you try to disable pata_amd?

and nothing like sda or hda.
In my case exactly this was the problem, so I had to enable old drivers for
hdd in combination with libata so that it might work - took me ages to find
out, but you have a newer generation, could be different, although
Processor family (Geode GX/LX) is the same - it says "Select this for AMD
Geode GX and LX processors.".

I could give you the kernel packages if you wish, but can not guarantee, it
would work.
If you can tell what is your chipset - I could let it configure and compile,
if you wish.
Another option is that you miss something in the initrd - if you can enter
initrd (init=/bin/sh) and debug would be a +.
