The new initrd is not compatible with the old kernel? You need to
install the combination of all old components. That, or redesign
the components to be incrementally compatible.

This is the way I fix it:
* boot from CD (knoppix)
* mount filesystem
* chroot
* mkinitrd (after correcting /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf)
Hope it helps.
