I would guess perhaps that the initrd is not starting udev? (Don't use
udev myself but it looks like you do, and if it wasn't working I'd
expect to see this kind of thing.)

I'd suggest that the technique of pressing return to get a shell when
the initrd fires up and then executing the commands in linuxrc etc. by
hand to see where it starts to go wrong might be useful here.
