Have you tried any kernel versions between 2.6.32 and 2.6.37?  I made significant changes in 2.6.36, so it would be helpful to know when this stopped working.

Also, in 2.6.36, I added a new debugging feature for NFSROOT.  See "nfsrootdebug" description in Documentation/filesystems/nfs/nfsroot.txt.
