aha. I know what it is: for 2.6.31 or later you need to uncomment from
extra INITRAMFS options in Makefile.inc (or add them to Makefile.local):
in Makefile.inc it says:
# uncomment line below for 2.6.31 and later initramfs builds
#INITRAMFSOPTS:=CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE=usr/initramfs.cpio CONFIG_INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_BZIP2=y
(I've just reproduced your problem with 2.6.34, and it suddenly
struck me that this was the prob.) Sorry I didn't twig that faster -
it's because I've been resolutely staying in 2.6.29.1-land to make a
reliable release with that code vintage.
So put in those settings and you should be OK.
Very soon now we will deprecate 2.6.31 and start using 2.6.34.
Currently it works OK apart from sleep/resume.
