Yes, I run "make install" at first, and found the failure of boot;
Then I recreated initrd manually with mkinitrd/nash (patched by you),
and booted -rc6 again - failed again.

Sorry I don't have the laptop with me now, will post it this

your patches did work for me with -rc4, so I think I'll bisect it.
