Try changing the initramfs config to have modules only for known hardware depends rather than most. Esentially in /etc/initramfs/initramfs.conf change MODULES=most to MODULES=dep. Then regenerate the initrd with update-initramfs. It should make a much smaller initrd image that way. powerpc made this change in the past because the quik boot loader had a initrd size limit as well. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
