This patch also works for me.

I'm not so sure about that. I tried to copy name to a new string in
do_path_lookup and that didn't help.
Now, I've removed the
putname(filename);
line from do_path_lookup and I don't get the panic.
And BTW, I added Guenter's debugging to init/initramfs.c and got:
sys_mkdir dev:40755 returned 0
sys_mkdir root:40700 returned 0
even if it ends up panic'ing.
