Trying to do the UYOK thing.   All worked according to the docs until  
the client tried to mount the initial ram disk.      The initrd image  
is about 17MB and I set the PXE config to the following...

LABEL systemimager
DISPLAY message.txt
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 50
KERNEL kernel-LustreMgsMdt
APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd.img-LustreMgsMdt ramdisk_size=80000  
root=/dev/ram

When the client tries to "mount" the ram disk it says something like....

blocksize too large for device
attempt to access beyond end of device
ram0: rw=0, want=12345678983234565478789967543, limit=160000

Everything makes sense but the "want" value which appears to be some  
sort of overflow.    I'm just wondering if this is a known bug or if  
anyone else has encountered it.     We'd really like to be able to  
use the UYOK feature (for obvious reasons).

FWIW, this is an x86_64 environment and the kernel is a lustre- 
patched 2.6.18-8.
