[Bug 368264] [NEW] geninitrd: --with-bootsplash causes kernel panic with initramfs

[vip]

Public bug reported:

When generating initramfs geninitrd with bootsplash the kernel is in panic with unknown rootfs.
Same initrd without --with-bootsplash works well.

Following <shadzik>, with initramfs (default in pld):
bootsplash should be generated, named bootsplash, copied to initramfs' rootdir and finally, generated initramfs

e.g. 
/bin/splash.bin -s -f /etc/bootsplash/themes/livecd/config/bootsplash-1024x768.cfg > $MOUNTDIR/bootsplash
and then find . | cpio stuff
