Should ipxe be page-aligning the initrd?  Nothing _bad_ happens (the

I don't see any reference to the boot spec's 'kernel_alignment' in the
ipxe source anywhere (other than the definition).  Should it be
respecting that for the initrd?

doc/x86/boot.txt talks about kernel_alignment in terms of the alignment required by a relocatable kernel; there's nothing which (to me) suggests that it applies to initrd images.

If you change INITRD_ALIGN (in arch/i386/include/initrd.h) from 4 to 4096, does that fix the problem?
