Note that you are getting a kernel panic: that is *not* because initramfs fails to mount root. If that were the case you'd get an "early boot prompt". The problem is that the kernel is unable to load the init program from the initramfs itself. My guess is that there are several files missing from the initramfs and so the init program is unable to start. To be totally sure you can try unpacking your initramfs in a temporary file and chroot to it. # mkdir /tmp/foo # cd /tmp/foo # zcat /boot/initramfs-linux.img | cpio -i # chroot . /bin/sh And try several commands to see what happens.
