Increasing the "ramdisk_size" parameter doesn't fix the problem, there's
something weird with the kernel that I'm using.  This doesn't make sense:

ram1: rw=0, want=18446744056529682440, limit=32768

If nobody has any ideas of what might be causing this, does anybody have
a kernel and initrd.img I can have?  I need it for a x86_64 machine with
the e1000 network driver.
