It is suspected that either your paths are off or you need to use another "root=/dev/ram".
Maybe "root=/dev/ram0" ?

Seems something similar to this over here:

Maybe you need to tell it the root first, then tell it what img to use. Instead of

Code:

loadlin stata initrd=initrd.img root=/dev/ram rw

use

Code:

loadlin sata root=/dev/ram rw initrd=initrd.img
