Try this, there crams is enabled:
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-0.8.0/20080428-cramfs/

If that not work, then please detect the right type of filesystem of the
file "data\gobo\gobo-initrd", for example by booting a Knoppix and than
run "file gobo-initrd".

Should give such output:
initrd: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data
----------------------^^^^
But with other filesystem as "ext2" from my initrd.
