I have encountered a problem with booting Linux (2.4.3) with GRUB with an initrd file that is generated by the SuSE-7.1 mk_initrd script. The kernel mounts the root partition rw even though there is a ro parameter on the command line and the root flag is set to 1. This is a problem as it prevents e2fsck from running at boot time. The SuSE script creates a init disk with 5000 blocks. This is much larger than is really needed. The boot problem does not happen if the script is changed to reduce this size to 4096 blocks. There is no problem if there is no initrd at all, and no problem if GRUB chainloads a LILO boot sector that references the same initrd file. I am using GRUB 0.5.96.1 on a Intel Pentium II machine with 196MB or ram.
