I downloaded and booted the kernel & initrd that you have linked to
using grub as the boot loader. The boot process doesn't show that

initramfs and loads. mkelfimage is hardcoded for a 8 MB initial ramdisk
(it's in the man page), your initrd has an uncompressed size over that.
Perhaps you need to pass --ramdisk-base= to change the size in mkelfimage.
hope my 2 cents is useful,
*gasp*
I tried --ramdisk-base and it does indeed make it boot. I don't quite
understand it because Ubuntu's initrd is definitely larger than 8MB as well.
I'm guessing 16MB is a safe number, because frees the memory after initrd?
Anyway, thanks very much.
