I hate looking at things with the messages cropped, it can hide useful
information.
In any case the kernel line:
> Freeing initrd memory: 2624k freed.
Indicates that the initrd is being found, and there is data there.
The line:
> RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Indicates that your initrd is either corrupted or it is in a format
your kernel does not recognize.
Do you have the proper filesystem in your kernel. Is your initrd
compressed? In some cases filesystems are only recognized inside a
compressed initrd.
