Using /dev/hda0 as root seems a little strange to me, as the usual way of naming partitions starts with 1 (so the first partition would be /dev/hda1). However the kernel seems to be finding and starting your init executable, so that likely isn't your problem.
I would suggest starting by using a statically linked shell as your init and building up from there.
