^^^^^^^^^
When devfs is mounted by kernel (CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y and CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y
in kernel config and USEDEVFS=1 in build-initrd.sh config), BOOTDEV=
CRYPTROOT= and EXTERNALGPGDEV= (if needed) must be specified using long form
genuine devfs name. /dev/hda6 is a compatibility name provided by devfsd.
devfsd is not yet running when these names are used.
If your kernel is NOT configured with CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y and
CONFIG_DEVFS_MOUNT=y, then build-initrd.sh must be configured with
USEDEVFS=0.

That looks ok. If it still fails, try with "root=/dev/ram0" or "root=0100"
kernel parameter. Not specifying root= was a workaround for kernel bug in
some older 2.4 kernels. Not sure if that bug is still there in 2.6 kernels.
