Passing 'verbose' and not 'quiet' on the kernel command line will get 
more info for debugging.  (press tab at isolinux boot choice screen, 
which I assume should work from MSVS though I've never used MSVS myself).

If you've already tried that, the only other idea I have is that qemu 
had a bug with large initramfss, though I can't really imagine that info 
will help your situation in any way.
