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.
