I don't know for sure. I avoid using an initrd; however, the
man-page of mkinitrd says that by default, mkinitrd constructs
an image that uses the modules for your current kernel version.
For you, what this means is that /boot/image_name.img contains
modules for linux 2.6.8 rather than for 2.6.17; this would
certainly explain the boot failure.
I suspect you need to do this:
mkinitrd -o /boot/image_name.img 2.6.17.7
