It looks as the initrd is executing fine. Not sure if the initrd
has switched root, thought it looks as it has.

This is where the initrd starts.

I think the problem is you have made the console not be hvc0. Or in other
words, the rest of the system is outputing to another device that you
are not looking at. It could be very well going to the framebuffer,
thought it seems more likely it is going to netcon0. And I don't think
netcon0 is initialized at that point, so it is going to >/dev/null in
essence.

Add this to your command argument 'console=hvc0' for your guest.
