I tired manually copying the static bash binary 8mb, over to the ramdisk root folder. The problem still manifests, if there is no other file other than the static bash file, it displays the prompt. If the core-minimal-console image exists, along with the static bash binary in the root location, it gives the kernel panic, as shown above.
