'file not found' is an end message that is due to a lack of 'storage
room': ramdisk.
Huh? That doesn't follow at all; it's not reasonable to conclude this
without more context, and the original mail reports a problem finding the
initrd -- not finding files within it.
Yes, I agree. The problem finding initrd happens right away, like 3-4
lines into boot messages. But, I still don't understand how it was not
found. While I was not exactly sure of the symbolic links should be
defined, I tried many variations of complete paths and nothing worked. Why
would it be a problem for smp and not generic? Puzzling.
I have a clearer head about this now and will probably attack in earnest
again this weekend, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
