It was fixed, and it's weird bug in nash.

If Andrew is still doing the same thing as years ago, he does not
update the initramfs image, he boots with the old original initramfs
along with the new kernel. :)

It might be, that just dropping the entire initramfs, and let the
kernel mount the rootfs, has a good chance to boot the box.
