I suppose you're using UYOK and not the BOEL kernel (shipped in the
x86_64 RPMs).

It seems that fs metadata of your initrd are corrupted. Have you tried
to re-create the initrd, running si_prepareclient again, or have you
tried to check if it was corrupted?

# zcat initrd.img > initrd && fsck.cramfs initrd
