seems this is a nfs-based statelite initrd.

what do you mean by "the same error" here? do you mean you get the same
following err message as the nfs-based statelite?
...
dracut: FATAL: Don't know how to handle
'root=nfs:10.3.0.58:/install/netboot/rhels6/x86_64/compute/rootimg:ro'

if true, I think you might forget to run "nodeset" after you changed the
osimage to ramdisk-based statelite.
