The standard LRP/LEAF kernel requires patches which force /linuxrc to run all the time, everytime. It sounds like you are trying to use an unpatched kernel. In this case, your root= parameter has to be set right and you need a "twist" (the official name is "root pivot") in order to get the real root device mounted. Both Bering (Linux 2.4) and Oxygen (Linux 2.2.20 in development) operate seamlessly without any patches.
