I'm no really sure what the difference is. initrd.gz is a compressed file
with a minix on it. Its created automaticly with build-initrd.sh from loop-
aes
package.
the ramdisk is 4096 which should be sufficient and yes the kernel has intrd
support.

Have you edit the build-initrd.sh script to fit your needs?
Does
http://featherlinux.berlios.de/usb-instructions.htm or
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.1/0551.html help?)
Totally different Q's:
Have you called syslinux with the correct parameter to find your
initrd.gz?
Do you have access to DOS bootable drive (To try to boot the kernel
using loadlin from DOS command prompt. If that works you know that the
issues are regarded to syslinux, if not - initrd/kernel) (?)
Have you tried to boot kernel + initrd from your local linux
installation?
