It's loading the initrd, so this is good.

But it's missing many modules. Could be either your root filesystem missing the kernel modules
in /lib/modules/$KERNEL_VERSION when you ran "update-initramfs -k $KERNEL_VERSION -c -v" or
the old userland from Wheezy having issues with loading kernel modules with udev.
How did you create this initrd and what root are you booting? The unstable one or the wheezy one?
