Same problem for me with 2.6.20-2 and 2.6.19-7.
Only fix was to install initramfs-tools 0.69ubuntu25.

BTW, the root= line in my grub config is of the root=UUID= variety.
It looks like the error may be caused by the new ATA drivers and the old
ones trying to claim the same device Is there a kernel parameter I
can pass to disable the new drivers?
