mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-$UNAME.img $UNAME

i.e.

mkinitrd -f /boot/initrd-2.6.27-1.fc10.img 2.6.27-1.fc10

the -f will overwrite the old image.

Ugh I might know what's going on here.

the initrd hard-codes the name of the root fs, IIRC.

Try replacing ext4dev with ext4 in /etc/fstab before you re-make the
initrd...

Also add -v to the mkinitrd commandline, see if it is including the ext4
module?
