Maybe there should also be a warning if no standard FS (ext[34], btrfs,
xfs etc.) is build into the kernel.
Another thing, but that's just a recommendation for initrd-free mode:

Nice that it forks off a gdb session. I will contribute my gdb helper
script soon (module symbol loading, dmesg, per-cpu variable lookup etc.)
so that it can be loaded automatically.
