This may be the culprit.  First, it’s not needed, because 0.8 already
included these two modules by default.  Second, 0.8 would fail when
trying to load the same module twice, which is exactly what would happen
here (this is fixed in ‘master’, around commit 0e704a2.)

Could you try to remove these ‘initrd’ lines and try again?

Thanks in advance,
