Probably the changes to use libata PATA drivers instead of the
old crusty IDE drivers at a guess. The most obvious change being
the move from /dev/hd* to /dev/sd*. If you're using
mount-by-label, that should 'just work' though, so perhaps either
the driver is broken, or it needs a workaround in mkinitrd like
the other PATA drivers to wait for the disk nodes to appear in
/dev before we go looking for volume groups.
Do you know which IDE chipset this uses? (If you know the module
that ended up in the initrd, even better).

It panics, unable to mount on i386 without any LVM too. Asus
A7V600, kt600 chipset, both pata an sata drives. My / is on hd0,0
an IDE pata drive. The sata (all storage) appears to be found
before the kernel panics on IDE. All drives (2 pata, 1 sata) are
ext3.

Before I saw any of these posts, I had already remade an initrd
for 2877. I was ignorant of "the changes to use libata PATA
drivers" I am usin mount by label,
title FC7 (2.6.19-1.2877.fc7)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.19-1.2877.fc7.img
According to rawhide report that's 2.6.20rc1
Since I share /boot between fc6-test an rawhide, I could see what
2877 initrd contains (both the original an my remake)... but I
don't know how
