OK. That should create an initrd just fine. But is it created without
errors? There's still plenty of reasons why it may fail..

Is /boot of your 64studio installation actually used by grub? (ie you
may have grub and /boot from an other Linux installation (dual boot) on
the same machine).

Is there any Log message before the "unknown-block (0,0)" Panic message
that provide clues on why it fails?

Is there a message about the disk(s) and partitions being detected?

Did you specify a root=/dev/[hs]da[0-9] parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Maybe older/other kernels use SCSI emulation hda vs. sda?

It does not seem to be a general problem with the 2.6.31-rt10-multimedia
 more like some installation/setup edge-case.

I hope we can find out what's going on..

PS. I'm just compiling 2.6.31-rt11.. but updates there are not related
to the any issues you are experiencing.
