The vanilla linux kernels don't support cramfs. See mkinitrd(8):

By  default  mkinitrd  will  generate a CRAMFS image.  This is not cur-
rently supported by Linux.  However,  the  Debian  prepackaged  kernels
have been patched to support it.  You can also generate an initrd image
of another type by changing the MKIMAGE setting in mkinitrd.conf.

So long
