I don't think you should gunzip the initrd, amiboot does nothing with it, it just passes it as an argument to the kernel and the kernel takes care of it. > 5> amiboot -d -k vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-amiga -r initrd root=/dev/ram > ramdisk_size=15000 debian-installer/framebuffer=false video=amifb:pal-lace > debug=mem [...] > attempt to access beyond end of device > ram0: rw=0, want=120008, limit=30000 This is a sign that the initrd is too big or the ramdisk_size you picked is too small, or both. I would try with the compressed initrd, and if that does not work, increase the ramdisk_size. It seems it has been increased already compared to sarge, I don't think it needs to be larger, for compressed initrds. If you use the uncompressed initrd, you might not have enough memory, even though you have 64MB.
