I too had some problems with initram. Background: I couldn't get etch to install so I installed sarge then installed a new kernel, 2.6.12 (having learned the hard way that you can't upgrade to etch if the kernel is less than 2.6.12) I then upgraded to etch. I then built kernel 2.6.15-1 (from kernel.org, not debian) Having read the email you refer to, I was careful to use the newer initram tools but I couldn't get it to boot. After some digging, i found I had to go back to makeinitrd (which uses cramfs) I don't think the kernel is ready for initramfs yet. But my syptoms were not the same as yours (per your log file)
