Exploring the initrd image generated from within 2.6 for 2.4 explained everything. Under 2.6 the root device is /dev/sda, yet in 2.4 it's /dev/hda. mkinitrd isn't smart enough to figure that out, and hence the default it passes on and generates in the initrd image's file 'script' is ROOT=/dev/sda1 The fix was to do mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-686 -r /dev/hda1 2.4.27 from within 2.6 (the only image available here), and promise to self to always use 2.6 for 2.6 upgrades and 2.4 for 2.4 upgrades.
