This same issue is bugging me too, preventing me from using arjan's
kernel, but I am using ext3. I think the problem is in mkinitrd.
I assume you see a message like "can't mount /" with an integer error
code, followed by a pivot_root error.
I don't think the problem is specific to the way arjan is building 2.6
because I had the same problem with my own build of 2.5.69. So the
problem is in mkinitrd or is a bug in the upstream 2.6 kernel. FWIW, I
can boot 2.6 if I build it myself and link in enough modules that I
don't need an initrd.

Shoot, sorry. It does say init not found. Kernel panic: No init
found. Try passing init- option to kernel.
