Did you compile the kernel with the JMB36x driver 'built-in' (<*>) or as a loadable module ()? In order for the kernel to find the root partition, the correct hardware drivers must be 'built-in'. The modules are in /lib/modules//... so if the kernel can't find the root partition (no appropriate built-in hardware driver) it certainly can't load a module stored under the root ('/') tree.
