how about if you'd report the failure of it?!

just looks fine and pretty sure that this initramfs contrare to your
report is *not* 1mb big.

send in:
ls -l /boot

The old initramfs was created by yaird and is the little one.
The new initramfs was created by initramfs-tools but it still don't work.
Waiting for root filesystem is the failure of last initramfs. The failure of yaird made initramfs is lots of lines of:
/sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
and after that a kernel panic.
It's obvious that I do not have logs because of the disk is not found.

Here the output of ls -l /boot as you asked:
