Well I think the problem is that during uncompression I get this message.

gzip: initrd.gz: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored
when I recompress this file it is smaller than the original and doesn't boot anymore.
What is that "trailing garbage ignored"?
Probably one or more appended bootsplash images, or other appended info. See the mkinitrd script for details on appending info (source code). Cheers, Leen
