initrd and 2.6.0-test8
me had the same problems,
with devfs enabled
could it be this (from Documentation/initrd)
Note that changing the root directory does not involve unmounting it.
the "normal" root file system is mounted. initrd data can be read
root=/dev/ram0 (without devfs)
root=/dev/rd/0 (with devfs)
initrd is mounted as root, and the normal boot procedure is followed, with the RAM disk still mounted as root.
the patch doesn't mention anything about /dev/rd/0 , but does for /dev/ram0

*Arrgh*
Presense of devfs is, indeed, the problem. /dev/rd/0 vs. /dev/ram0 is not an issue; visibility of /dev/initrd, OTOH, is - we have /dev of rootfs overmounted by devfs, so the thing becomes inaccessible.
OK, that's trivially fixable. We need to put the sucker outside of /dev, that's all. Patch in a few...

What about situation when devfs is not mounted and even not used at all, and it is still not working?

If it is configured, it gets mounted for a while by late-boot code.
Do you have CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y in your .config?
