Odd, I've using the versatile config pretty often here. I do configure
it slightly differently, as I normally don't care about graphics output
- So I use the serial output:

qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel output/images/zImage -append
   'console=ttyAMA0,115200 root=/dev/sda' -nographic -net nic -net user
   -hda output/images/rootfs.ext2

I've tweaked the versatile config a bit in git since the 2011.02
release though (enabled getty on serial port).

Perhaps you could give the default versatile config in git a try before
changing to initramfs?
