You are not alone. AFAICT, initrd is broken in 2.5.x - it fails
to mount to ramdisk unless you pass "root=/dev/ram0", and if you
do that, then it fails to switch to the real root-disk once
/linuxrc has executed from the ramdisk. At least, that was my
experience when trying it in 2.5.6 and 2.5.7.

The very same initrd-file worked fine with 2.4.18.
