It turns out we are seeing something new here. With the latest kernel I
am seeing what I _think_ is the same problem as you are. What i am
seeing it it isn't seeing the initrd.img that is passed in.
The key bit is during bootup I don't see these messages that would
normally be printed during bootup:
checking if image is initramfs... it is
Freeing initrd memory: 5648kB freed
I am digging through the code to try to figure out why this is now.
