Length is 0x7cd7c4 which is below 8 MiB. Moreover, this is a known-good
initrd. So the oops appears to be caused by a kernel change and not initrd
growth.
All these have the initrd in the second memory chunk - at least one of
the successful boots had the initrd in the first (8 MB) chunk).
I know nothing about the way amiboot works, and how the RAM chunk to
copy the initrd image to is selected. Just speculating: maybe amiboot
plus initrd size must be below 8 MB for the first chunk to get used?
But that's a little academic. I really wonder what makes the initrd at
the end of the second RAM chunk fault. But e.g. the range
0f83283d - 10000000
extends one byte beyond what's mapped
node 0: [mem 0x0000000008000000-0x000000000fffffff]
and the fault occurs at faddr=0ffffff4, at which point the processor
probably pre-fetched out to 10000000.
I need to dig out the 68040 manual to check what frame format 7 means...
Cheers,
Michael
