Ram dosen't make any sense. There are log messages that occur way before the RAM is initialized. What log level are you using?
MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8 DEFAULT_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8
Chage it to 9. 9 is printk_spew
However I just looked at the epia-m auto.c main() and the serial port is not enabled until _after_ enable_smbus(). So something in your smbus may be hanging things up until it times out.
Try this:
in epia-m/auto.c comment out line 124, enable_smbus() and re-run. With loglevel 9 you should get the "In auto.c main()" message pretty quick. If that works then try moveing enable_smbus() to after the serial init.
If that crashes or hangs then you will have to leave it alone and debug code prior to main() and find out where its looping to cause the pause.
Look at southbridge/via/vt8235/vt8235_early_serial.c to see how to send messages out the serial port.
