You could confirm what ROOT= was written by flash-kernel in the initrd;
unpack the generated initrd with gunzip + cpio -i and rgrep the conf/
directory for ROOT=.
I would also suspect important modules being missing from your initrd;
perhaps you can setup a netconsole in your kernel to find out, or
launch a sshd from your initrd to debug.
