Not even getting close to what? The last few messages are the kernel
freeing unused memory, and then a mknod error. These freeing messages are
the very last thing the kernel says before envoking the first userspace
program. This would typically be the /sbin/init in the initramfs.
The mknod error is not coming from the kernel, that is executing in
userspace very likely out of that /sbin/init busybox script.

I would conjecture that this indicates the kernel did indeed start
'init' and the script therein died leading to the kernel panic.
