sorry, I didn't included it in my previous mail :/
But I used it for my tests.

Yes, I tried, with --compress, the initrd is really a cramfs one (not a
gzipped cramfs), so it needs the cramfs initrd patch.
Same results, the cramfs image is recognized, but cannot be mounted.
It won't make any difference to compress or not the cramfs initrd if the
cramfs initrd patch is applied.
I repeat one more time: it is only needed for non-compressed cramfs
initrd :-)

I'll have a look later.
