Error 2 means that the file could not be found. Did you make sure that the firmware
is actually part of your initramfs image? Looking at the timestamp, just 2.62 seconds
after the start of the kernel is too early for the hard drive to be available yet.
Try using the lsinitramfs command to check whether your initramfs actually contains
the firmware. I don't remember exactly, but there might be a switch for initramfs-tools
to control which firmware to include.
