i think it actually is running. the kernel messages seem consistent
with what the kernel would say during start up. it is missing the
userspace output but that is because you specified "console=ttyS0"
before "console=tty0." usually this results in all of the userspace
messages getting written to the serial console and not to tty0. try
changing the qemu window to the serial0 console by pressing
ctrl-alt-3. there might be some information there.
if there isn't anything on the serial0 console, try removing the
"console=ttyS0,115200n8" part from you -append.
as a side note, it might also be possible that your system isn't
booting because on the command line you listed, you are not defining
a virtual disk to use. so the guest may not have a hda or sda to
mount a root filesystem from. from your screenshot it seems the
kernel got past that part but it is incomplete output.
