The second error message is incorrect in its own right (it's just another symptom of running out of memory;
there a two cpios
big(~370MB) initrd.cpio + 1GB ram gives only this message: "Initramfs unpacking failed: write error" small(~14MB) initrd.cpio + 1GB ram gives only this message: "Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive"
so the second one couldn't be a problem with running out of memory - and its not alpha related same error happens with ppc64,sparc64,mips64...
