It did not, reports a runaway loop in modprobe binfmt-464c, then spits out a panic report mentioning the kernel command line option of init= & freezes with that report still on screen. In this install, grub does a preliminary modprobe ext2, but the /boot is ext2-3. And has been for several years. More clues?
