    It panics, unable to mount on i386 without any LVM too. Asus 
A7V600, kt600 chipset, both pata an sata drives.  My / is on hd0,0 
an IDE pata drive.  The sata (all storage) appears to be found 
before the kernel panics on IDE.  All drives (2 pata, 1 sata) are 
ext3.

    (from my other dual boot side, fc6-test, lspci -v)

00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. 
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) 
(prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A7V600/K8V-X/A8V Deluxe 
motherboard
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 169
        I/O ports at a400 [size=16]
        Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2

   Before I saw any of these posts, I had already remade an initrd 
for 2877. I was ignorant of "the changes to use libata PATA 
drivers"   I am usin mount by label,

title FC7 (2.6.19-1.2877.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/
        initrd /initrd-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7.img

   According to rawhide report that's 2.6.20rc1

   Since I share /boot between fc6-test an rawhide, I could see what 
2877 initrd contains (both the original an my remake)... but I 
don't know how
