That's your problem. You need to specify your real root device in the
"root=" section; for example, mine looks like
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.9-13
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.9-13.img
read-only
root=/dev/md1
The initrd magic happens before the real root gets loaded: you don't
need to point root to /dev/ram0 to get a ramdisk.
Cheers,
Stephen
