Perhaps stage1 is missing some kernel modules now that usb support on recent kernels split them up a bit. Here is the fix for that in dracut: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/dracut/dracut.git/commit/?id=a28e2aeefec38f9118f36b3324e44d6a7d4fda7c I don't know the setup with stage1 enough to know if this is where the problem lies or not tho'.
