Just to understand this properly: you mean after the boot loader said it
loaded the initramfs, not when the kernel starts using it?

Ben, you just to be sure might want to check if a kernel image that
currently works still boots if you regenerate its initramfs: maybe the
initramfs generator or something it uses changed recently and is causing
your problem. I've seen a case or two where that was the case.
