solved the memory size problem with the helo of the
linux-mips-irc/mailing-list
detailed descrioption: https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/mips/
using "mem=256m@0x0 mem=768m@0x9000" as kernel parameter gives me
1GB and then my big initrd could be loaded

Based on Mr. Maydell's post (which I didn't see before
posting), that line might just describe the 256MB window,
not the whole RAM.
The log for the small initrd seems to log details of where
that initrd was located in memory, but the log for the big

According to your kernel message log, the guest machine only
has 256MiB RAM:
memory: 1000 @ (usable)
P.S.
I think you swapped the two log file

One thing that does stand out is that the malta memory map
has the full 2G of RAM starting at 0x8000, but also
has a 256M window (alias) into that RAM starting at 0.
I think that if the kernel is linked such that it loads
at the 0 alias address ra

That doesn't show that it's not a kernel bug -- it just shows
that if it is a kernel bug it's been around since at least
