I don't fully grok this stuff either but I think this patch is not the right solution. The log you sent shows: bootcmd=ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x00100000 /$(kernel); ext2load ide 0:1 0x00800000 /$(initrd); setenv bootargs $(bootargs_base) $(bootargs_root) $(bootargs_debug) $(buffalo_ver); bootm 0x00100000 0x00800000 So the kernel is loaded to 0x00100000 and the ramdisk to 0x00800000 Your patch sets the kernel load address to 0x00c08000. So u-boot will still load the kernel to 0x00100000 but then (I guess) it's uncompressed at 0x00c08000. The problem is that 0x00c08000 is only 4 MB after the start of the ramdisk (0x00800000), which doesn't leave a lot of space for the ramdisk. You can change initramfs-tools from MODULES=dep to MODULES=most, generate and I suspect it wouldn't boot. Can you try if something like 0x01a08000 works? BTW, I assume we need to change this for all Linkstation devices. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/
