The append line is unnecessary
First, your script with your initramfs should be called init and
not linuxrc :-(
Assuming that you are creating the cpio with --format=newc,
you should copy your initramfs.cpio.gz to:
linux-2.6.7/usr/initramfs_data.cpio.gz
Make the kernel, boot the kernel; and the initramfs will be mounted as
root, and control given to the init script.
