I am also seeing this but not on every boot. My work around is to add
a 'sleep 2' to the nash script after the modules are loaded. Compling
everything in also worked.
This is discussed in the thread: "current linus bk, error mounting
root". I believe the answer is that it is not a kernel problem,
instead the init scripts have to be fixed.

I will give this a try. Although I did compare the init from a working
initrd with the init from a non-working initrd, with no differences :-/

I figured it probably had been discussed if anyone else was having this
problem, it's just that I have been pretty scarce in the last couple of
weeks. I did try searching the archives but that didn't produce any
help. ;-) I will go back and take a look at this thread.
Thanks much.
