look like there was a problem, the default vmlinuz version is not the same
of the initrd
which mean you have a mdk kernel and not a mdk initrd you may go in trouble

I ran into this 'could not find any device /dev/loop#' and similar
failure to mkinitrd on a kernel install once. Seems what I did was
modprobe loop and mkinitrd to solve. Don't know why this was needed.
