Yes - try adding that.

The fact that it worked with 13.37 doesn't really mean a lot, to be
honest.  13.37 had a different version of busybox, a different version of
udev, a different kernel; most likely containted a different set of
modules.

When I had a similar problem myself, I unpacked the kirkwood's initrd and
put in the classic "print" statements into the init script to find out
where it was broken.
