I think that this is reason.
If initrd not contain jfs driver module, it can not to boot. Your
should boot jfs system
using rescue and execute mkinitrd. Other ways its not so easy.
Any ideas?

From /etc/sysconfig/kernel
INITRD_MODULES="processor thermal pata_amd sata_nv ahci pata_jmicron fan jbd ext3 edd jfs capability"

When I boot from 10.3 x86_64 DVD or from the ext3 drive, I can mount the jfs partition, also chroot works. In rescue mkinitrd also says the jfs module is included. I may try with jfs in front of ext3 in case it's due to a race condition.
