Probably your UYOK initrd.img has been created using an ext3 filesystem
and your kernel doesn't support it. Anyway, if you didn't explicitly
force it then this is a bug.

It seems a bit strange because I'm not able to reproduce the problem,
with CentOS 5 my UYOK initrd.img is correctly created using cpio.

Could you try to force the use of cpio instead of ext3? just re-run
si_prepareclient with the option "--filesystem cpio".
