FWIW: the same problem was observed with 2.6.16-1-686-smp.

(both on 2.6.16 booted with lilo and initramfs-utils 0.55b)

Nope, same problem with 0.57b.

Just in case this is helpful, after booting with 0.55b, /dev/root is:

  $ ls -la /dev/root
  brw-r--r-- 1 root root 22, 6 2006-03-24 16:25 /dev/root
