Striping out the I2O subsystem from the cpio archive created by initramfs
doesn't work - it then whinges about not being able to mount the root device.

Creating an initrd with mkinitrd works though as it doesn't try to include I2O
in the first place. It now boots to the point where the init scripts start (far
further than before).

Unfortunately the machine *then* crashes after mounting filesystems with the
same panic as before, presumably because something else (like hotplug) tries to
load those devices.  Unfortunately I couldn't see far back enough to confirm
that it was hotplug doing this and now the machine hangs at hotplug. :-(

I'm going to go grab a coffee to see if hotplug eventually completes and if not
boot back into the 2.6.10 kernel from Hoary and see if it passes hotplug there
or whether something has broken terminally now.
