Hi,
I had problems booting the Linux 2.2.18 kernel with an INITRD. It
seems that the last pages of the memory are off-limits for the
INITRD. There is some workaround in GRUB for the 2.3.xx kernel,
but the offset isn't sufficient for the 2.2.18 kernel.
Kernel message:
"initrd extends beyond end of memory (0xc3ffb000 > 0xc3ff0000)"
In the attachment is a patch to fix this problem.
