I recently ran into similar problems on one of my development boxes here locally[1]. I was originally running a custom 2.6.3 kernel and took it down to add more memory to it. I tried rebuilding the initrd image for my custom kernel a few different times and even forking a shell during the initrd load to manually try the steps. Eventually, I purged my custom kernel and went with the Debian 2.6.5-1-k7 image, then filed the bug report. [1] - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=245238 -- Jamin W.
