I did what you said.
New error:

RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
Freeing initrd memory: 2624k freed
VFS: Cannot open root device "" or 03:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:00

leave root=/dev/ram0 away in the parameters and say initrd=initrd
instead. IIRC there was some check in Linux that it only looks for an
initrd if there is a parameter saying that there is one.
