If you dont use the loader, then the device.hints wont load and you wont have a console for the kernel to print to. I had the same symptoms the other day when I typo'ed the name of the device.hints file. Don't know where your loader went but if I were you I'd try compiling it and sticking it in instead of the old one. If you dont like the device.hints thing, there is some way to compile it in staticly.
