Quite possibly grub is not configured to read the initrd from the correct disk device. It can be hard to get that right when preparing an disk image on another machine. Or possibly, given the age of the hardware, the initrd is not located near enough to the front of the drive for grub to be able to access it. (Which is why having a separate /boot partition first used to be a good idea.) -- see shy jo
