With a cpio initrd the kernel should automatically detect the rootfs, checking if one of the available devices contains the file "/init", and if so it executes it. So there's no need to specify the root= option. In perspective this parameter should be deprecated, but you shouldn't have problems if you define it. Anyway, could you try to remove it from your syslinux.cfg? moreover, could you post your kernel in a place available from web? I'm just curious to see how the kernel panics...
