Have you found/read the BootDisk-HOWTO? (http://www.linux.com/howto) There are two issues here: - creation of the initrd image - telling the kernel on boot to create a RAMDISK larger than the default of 4MB. It's probably the second bullet you're having problems with. Via LILO, SYSLINUX, whatever, you need to pass the following parameter to the kernel: ramdisk_size=16384 The number is KB, so the value above is 16MB. Hope this helps!
