I've run into this exact problem.

First I installed sarge on a MacMini, then I dist-upgraded it to
unstable. All is working fine with the 2.6.8-kernel.

Then I installed linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc and got the problem with
too small a ramdisk. After adding ramdisk_size=16384 to yaboot.conf I
get the exact symptoms described above:

 RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

My /etc/fstab looks like this:

 $ cat /etc/fstab 
 # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
 #
 # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
 proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
 /dev/hda3       /               xfs     defaults        0       1
 /dev/hda4       none            swap    sw              0       0
 /dev/hdb        /media/cdrom0   iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
 $ 

mount says this:

 $ mount
 /dev/hda3 on / type xfs (rw)
 proc on /proc type proc (rw)
 sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
 usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
 tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
 devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
 $ 

And uname:

 $ uname -a
 Linux topper 2.6.8-powerpc #1 Thu Nov 24 00:17:15 UTC 2005 ppc GNU/Linux
 $ 

Some versions:

 $ wajig status initramfs-tools udev yaboot linux-image-2.6.16-1-powerpc

 $ 

Please let me know what other information I should supply.
