Please check these three things:

1. Is the initramfs missing? Check /boot to see if initrd.img-[version]
actually exists for the failing kernels. If not, boot into 6.12 and
regenerate it:
sudo update-initramfs -c -k [failing_kernel_version]

2. Is the bootloader loading it? Check your U-Boot config. Make sure
the boot entry for the failing kernels has an INITRD line pointing to
the correct initramfs image.

3. Did the drive name change? Newer kernels sometimes rename the SD
card reader. In your boot config, try changing the root= parameter to
use the UUID instead (e.g., root=UUID=your-drive-uuid).
