eventually yesterday I've been able to boot with initrd and not  
initramfs by leaving the kernel in the flash memory and coping the  
initrd in ram. With the exception of switching to initrd, the kernel  
is the same, so I really think it was a problem of overwritten memory.

I'll have to find out why booting the kernel from flash works and from  
ram not.
