I tried 9000, 40000, with the same result. > Perhaps the initrd is corrupt?

So if the uncompressed size is 6MB, the ramdisksize should larger than 12000, 9000 is too small? I tried with 20000 with an uncompressed ramdisk, same problem, it tries to access at 4*limit+8. I guess the initrd is broken, there seems to be some garbage at the beginning. Stephen, do you have a newer version of initrd?
