kernel panic!!! not syncing: not init found


hi,
when i try to pass to kernel the initrd option i get this error:
Code:
Mounting root filesystem
ReiserFS: hda5
...(other ReiserFS stuffs)...
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
kernel panic - not syncing: not init found. Try passig init= option to kernel.
grub.conf!
Code:
title=Gentoo Linux (WORKING)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/default root=/dev/hda5

title=Gentoo Linux (NOT WORKING)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/default root=/dev/hda5
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
what's could be wrong with my grub?
