In general you debug this kind of problem in three steps:
1) Get an initrd to boot /bin/sh. (Break down and compile a static bash or
something, and then get the kernel to boot up to a bash prompt. Then worry
about dynamic linking. Or use a "hello world" executable to start out,
even...)
2) Chroot into your initrd root image from a working linux system and try to
get that to work.
3) Put #1 and #2 together.
