Using exactly the commands above on a freshly compiled 3.15.0 kernel I am 
getting :

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 46000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.15.0
   Created:      2014-06-09  17:14:06 UTC
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    5866768 Bytes = 5.6 MiB
   Load Address: 40008000
   Entry Point:  40008000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
## Flattened Device Tree blob at 49000000
   Booting using the fdt blob at 0x49000000
   Loading Kernel Image ... OK
   Using Device Tree in place at 49000000, end 49007990

and nothing else.

I was hoping this would look familiar to someone here who could give me 
some pointers..

I compiled the kernel with a .config file I found in another post by Hans.

Thanks in advance,
Tim
