Are you sure it's when the root filesystem was initialized?  I had it happen
right at the point where the kernel would probe for the card.  This was
happening on an 486-66DX2 from Intel.

I discovered that if you keep trying, eventually the kernel will boot; for
me, the panics didn't happen all of the time.  I no longer have that machine,
so I can't give you a better solution than that.
