QEMU blank screen issue

Question

I build and flashed mainline kernel using

1)make ARCH=arm distclean

2)make ARCH=arm bcm_defconfig

3)make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- LOADADDR=0x00008000 uImage

4)qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -m 128M -kernel arch/arm/boot/uImage -initrd rootfs.img -append "root=/dev/ram rdinit=/sbin/init"

QEMU shows a blank screen nothing in it. Could someone please help?

Do I need to change the machine? If yes, please let me know which machine?
