Ok, that sounds pretty crazy, though I still suspect a modules problem.
What type of hardware is your root partition on, what modules are loaded
on a successful boot, can you examine the initrd images to find out
if there is a difference in the modules included in each initrd -
they are cramfs images and you can mount them using the loopback device.
mkdir /tmp/img
mount -o loop,ro /boot/blah.img /tmp/img
