That's your problem. You need to specify your real root device in the "root=" section; for example, mine looks like
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-13 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.9-13.img read-only root=/dev/md1
The initrd magic happens before the real root gets loaded: you don't need to point root to /dev/ram0 to get a ramdisk.
