Are you sure that the kernel is recoginzing your command line
parameters? It should echo them out in an earlier boot message.
My guess is that you have a mistake somewhere in passing the command
line parameters to the kernel, leaving the kernel unable to find it's
root fs. YMMV... :-)

P.S. Another possibility is that your initrd image isn't getting
uncompressed correctly or to the correct location...
