In fact the above came with the 2.6.18. Sorry that I > didn't state it clearly. initramfs loads up a mini rootfs one of the directories is /rootfs (I think, haven't looked at it in a while), this is the location that it loads the root fs before doing a pivot root and then starting the system.

by the looks of it initrd can't see your hard drives, are the proper
modules loaded into initramfs ? try a lsmod and/or a ls -lR
/lib/modules/*, whilst in initrd
have a look in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
especially at
MODULES=most
maybe yours is set to dep and initramfs is getting it wrong, then
rebuild the initrd
