how about if you'd report the failure of it?!

just looks fine and pretty sure that this initramfs contrare to your
report is *not* 1mb big.
send in:
ls -l /boot

The old initramfs was created by yaird and is the little one.
The new initramfs was created by initramfs-tools but it still don't work.
Waiting for root filesystem is the failure of last initramfs. The failure of yaird made initramfs is lots of lines of:
/sys/block/hda/dev: No such file or directory
and after that a kernel panic.
It's obvious that I do not have logs because of the disk is not found.
Here the output of ls -l /boot as you asked:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root** 64816 24 apr 05:53 config-2.6.18-6-amd64

that is *not* the failure just the symptom.

most probably your root device got renamed from hda to sda,
please double check the *last* messages initramfs-tools gives
you when throwing you to console with lower rootdelay value.

Please file a separate bugreport against yaird, to help resolve any
problems there.
Kind regards,
