Sure, without a proper initrd, the system won't complete boot, but it
won't start "Loading Linux......." and halt. It'll load the kernel, the
kernel will boot and be unable to mount root fs (panic!!). You saw both,
but halting while loading the kernel is odd. I can only guess that it was
caused by the kernel residing on a striped RAID set.
