[U-Boot] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount rootfs on unknown-block (1, 0)

Hello to U-Boot list,

I have encountered an interesting problem which I do not entirely
understand. I am trying to boot MLO and u-boot.bin from the SD Card,
and rest from the initramfs.

I tried several initramfs images, and so far I am always failing on
the same place:
[    2.135533] No filesystem could mount root, tried:
[    2.135541]  ext2
[    2.140682]
[    2.144262] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root
fs on unknown-block(1,0)
[    2.153034] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to
mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

I have tried mostly .gz images (cpio.gz and ext2.gz). Does not help.
Even does not with ext2.gz after YOCTO is done. In order to do it
correctly, I MUST to add U-Boot header, and I do this with the
following command:

mkimage -n 'Ramdisk Image'  -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -d
initramfs.ext2.gz initramfs.uImage

And the image I actually supply is: initramfs.uImage

Then, the following happens:

What could be the (list of) problem(s) here?
