It's because "jffs2" and "cafe_nand" are missing from those initrds.
I think if we specified those in /etc/modprobe.conf, they'd be read by
mkinitrd at kernel install time and bundled into the initrd.  If you
put them in that file before installing the new kernel, does that work?

(If so, please send us a patch to our kickstart file that writes them
there.)

- Chris.
