Ok, that works here with any configuration, I don't see a regression.
Could this be a problem with the size increase? The machine only has
32MB of RAM, so it's possible that the multiplatform-enabled kernel
with DT support etc pushes it over the edge, especially with an initramfs.

My configuration is clearly a bit different from yours, so I tried giving it
a larger initramfs file, which randomly crashes elsewhere for me:
