The \n") looks wrong but I also think it's relatively harmless. It will botch the "ro" argument so the kernel will not see it, but IIUC that's the only harm it does.
In fact, I think the tangent into Grub is wrong. I'd like to suggest you trace back a few steps and explain what exactly you are trying to accomplish. Have you looked at update-initramfs and the initramfs-tools? My understanding of these is limited, but it looks to me like it's what you should be using. But of course, if you know better, perhaps you could at least expand a bit on this topic.
(I was summoned here by otheus for some reason. I'm afraid I won't be able to follow this thread regularly.)

Is there a patch available to support initramfs on the 2.4 kernel? We can't upgrade to 2.6 for legacy purposes. All I found on google were early references to how initramfs is better than the 2.4 initrd.

bootchart2
BOOTCHART2(1) General Commands Manual BOOTCHART2(1)
NAME
bootchart2 - collects and analyses data from boot process
DESCRIPTION
bootchart2 is a tool to log the boot process and make a nice graph out of it, to usually see where it takes longer.
It consists of three different pieces of software: a shell script, a collector and a visualisation tool.
Please also see the manual pages referred to in the SEE ALSO section.
CONFIGURATION
After install simply add these options to your kernel command line, normally in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
initcall_debug printk.time=y quiet init=/sbin/bootchartd ...
Then after bootup run pybootchartgui to get an interactive chart rendering tool. If you want to chart the initrd, add
rdinitrd=/sbin/bootchartd
to the kernel command line.
To make bootchart2 work best, please ensure your kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_EVENTS=y and CONFIG_TASKSTATS=y
If you want to start bootchart2 in a dracut (version >= 008) initramfs, you have to change init=/sbin/bootchartd to rdinit=/sbin/bootchartd
and regenerate the initramfs with bootchart support with:
# dracut -f -a bootchart

pybootchartgui(1), bootchartd(1)
