Example boot from initrd:
qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -m 512M \
-no-reboot -kernel arch/riscv/boot/Image \
-initrd rootfs.cpio \
-device e1000,netdev=net0 \
-netdev user,id=net0 -bios default \
-append "panic=-1 rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200 earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0x10000000,115200" \
-nographic -monitor none
qemu version is 8.0, but I don't think that makes a difference.
What does your command line look like ?

This fixes the problem for me.
