Well for starters, you never use a 'root=/dev/xxxx' in the bootloader command line. If you do that, you're basically overriding the initramfs. If you've got an initramfs, the kernel will by default unpack it and mount it as root. You also don't need to specify init='xxxx', because the kernel by default looks for /init or /sbin/init to continue booting (which would be the init from the initramfs unless you've pointed root somewhere else)
Ahh, I thought if you didn't specify root=xxx it would just use the same root as the system it was compiled on, but that could be something that installers do, not the kernel itself. Thanks!
