sorry late answer. try remove ext[2-4] from /etc/mkinifs/mkinitfs.conf
and regenerate the initramfs image.

I suspect kernel mounts with first best matching filesystem which
happens to be ext3. If next3 is the only it might pick the correct one.

btw, i have some fixes for initramfs-init comming up for running root on
lvm on (software) raid. (my desktop does that now)
