Could you attach a screenshot of the rescue system right when it's displaying he has failed to find your root partition?

Are your /dev/mmcblk1p* listed in /proc/partitions?
(which is what guessmounts is using in order to detect partitions)
=> It might be that the right driver hasn't been auto-loaded.
(it's present as we're using the same base system -- aka stage1 -- as the regular installer stage2)
